Books are appealingly tangible but annoyingly bulky. Kindles are convenient, but not much fun to use... Korean students have, however, come up with something that goes a long way to combining the qualities of both. It's still a prototype, but the video below offers a taste of what it may offer..

  1. Interesting but not convinced that it's "the solution". Yes it looks nice and very much like "real" book browsing. But if it works well will only be shown by if it works for readers in big numbers.
