I did get a chance for a quick look at the content** but not much time  
testing on an XO yet. I think the goal here is for the content to be  
both a set website content designed to work well with the XO via an  
internet connection (or off a local school-server); and as an xo  
library bundle so that kids without internet/school access can read  
the material directly off their XO's nand.

The two main links Rebecca (hello!) included in her email was a direct  
link to the demo:

	http://openlibrary.org/static/olpc_bundle/openlibrary/

And a link to a xo library bundle:

	http://openlibrary.org/static/olpc_bundle/openlibrary.xol

I've not  (my apologies) yet tried to install the library bundle, but  
if it's correctly formed, it's content should appear in the left side  
bar of the default page that Browse activity shows.

**My only UI thoughts were that it should 1). start in a 'bookshelf'  
mode showing all the book covers (in a grid, with up/down scrolling if  
there are more shelves); 2). The book view should default to fill the  
screen in page by page mode (not as the current long vertical list of  
every page as a thumbnail).
