The ability to flip pages is lost on the typical electronic book.
But that's about to change.
 
A team led by Lee Howan, from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has reproduced the centuries-old experience of turning the page.
 
The Smart E-book combines two technologies - one that responds to finger movements on the screen and another that recognises pressure on the frame surrounding the screen.
 
Together they allow a user to turn pages as though the E-book was a paper- back, infusing an old world experience into new world technology...and with luck says Howon, South Korea's classrooms as well.
 
And one added benefit - while it recreates the experience of flipping pages, it doesn't recreate the experience of the papercut.
