Beautiful Library Site

~One thing that I despise is Adobe Acrobat Reader, that ubiquitous piece of software that reads .pdf files. A far solution to reading document, especially books, on a computer is something akin to Open Library. This web site had thousands of out-of-copyright books that can be read "naturally", with the entire book displayed on the screen and a simulated page-turner.

It's a bit hard to explain, so take a look at the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to see what I mean. You can use the arrow buttons on the right side of the screen to flip the pages. It would be nice to find a .pdf reader that displayed documents like that.
