The Elements is slick, but isn't it too one-dimensional?

How can something designed specifically as a book be even be considered a "killer app"?

It is however a shining example of what can be done with the tablet form factor.

Exactly, I don't understand why this is being debated. "Because if it's not a KILLER APP, I don't want it on my pad, brah.

This is a great example of the potential of this form factor. I'm no iPad fan, but this type of use is what I see as the real potential for the form factor, imagine an entire textbook done in this manner - that would be extremely useful to students and could enhance the learning process. I could see this type of approach for magazines too, embedded video, animations, interactive features, etc. As long as tablets have been around, it's too bad it took a company like Apple to bring it all together in this way.

I would love to see e-books evolve into something like this, especially for educational material, as jnjkele mentioned.

Isn't it actually 2-D? /snicker
