As a Paperwhite user, I don't think making page turning more like a real book would be a win. The swipe or tap to change pages is better.

I do agree that having it turn on when you open the cover is great.

Really. I wonder if/when more people will begin using internet-based chat programs like WhatsApp, where you can spam messages for free (okay, $1 per year). I'd use it more with friends, but I'm too cheap to pay for mobile data, and so are some of the people I talk to. The only good thing about SMS is that it works without an internet connection.

WhatsApp is already bigger than SMS in message volume. In some lower-income countries, you can get data plans that only give you access to WhatsApp for a buck or two a month.

On the portable Sony Discman subject, they had some ridiculous options in the interface. Like programmable track order which seems pretty pointless looking back.
