This is the reason I can only tolerate reading ebooks in iBooks. If they ever remove the ability to idly mess with page corners in a way that feels almost like a physical object, I guess I'm just done with ebooks. Other readers I've seen with faux-page-turning don't do it right. They don't allow partial turns (just a page-turning animation—not the same thing, and always hideous), only allow a tiny amount of partial turn before the whole page flips over, or it doesn't feel closely-enough connected to your input. Even iBooks could be a lot better, but it's good enough.
[EDIT] Apple Books, rather. Was it ever iBooks, or did I invent that? Either way, that's the program I'm talking about.
