Like many people, I love physical books. I like how they feel, how they look, sometimes how they smell, how they can be bent, dog-eared, dropped and written in. But one thing I don’t like is flipping a book’s page. I hate it when I accidentally flip multiple pages ahead when I only want to go the next page. I hate the clumsiness of flipping back and forth looking for the right spot. So when (via Booktrade, via The Next Web) I learned about this prototype Japanese technology, Paranga, that allows you to flip pages as a way to move forward in your eBook, my only thought is: no thanks. Books do still have some advantages over eBooks, but turning pages is not one I get nostalgic over. To make matters worse, ”At present the system is not sensitive enough to accurately detect just one page at a time.” In short, great technological ingenuity has been used to make an eBook even more clumsy and inaccurate than a book.
