If only they offered an offline client to view the documents that was just as cool as the online version. I'm talking mainly about sites like calameo, issuu, and myebook.It's also a bit odd to use them with a tablet PC. If the intent is to make a reader that looks and is usable as paper, maybe they should have it so someone who has a slate or tablet be able to do so. It would be nice, but I know the majority of people don't have such things.
