What's the purpose of emulating a physical book?

  "Let's move forward, by moving backwards!" The web is already a document system. It doesn't need to be skeuomorphically constrained into a 'book' with cute page turning animations, and no ability to use a scroll wheel, shift-space to go back (looks like `space` is hardcoded in his script, but only works half the time), or any of the features you already have in a browser. (I wonder how accessible it is in a Screen Reader, too.)

    Except a book is not a silly document. Just like video on the web isn't. And yet cavemen from enterprise feel that turning everything into a giant Chinese scroll is all about moving forward. It's all f'king propaganda, my friend.
