Patenting a Page Turn

First off sorry for not posting for a couple of days Legal Research is was getting the best of me. Legal research is like googling something, but instead of a list of 20 things. You get 10,000 courts cases, statutes, treatises, and secondary sources.

Apple is all powerful.  Today a friend put me onto this article:

Apple is something we rely on delay. My only Apple product is my iPhone 5, which is attached to me more so then my keys and my wallet. However, some of these patents to me seem like they are simply throwing their power around unnecessarily. Is someone going to buy an iPad over a Kindle or Nook because of this thrilling page turning technology. I understand they are doing the best to make it seem like you reading and actual book and it might be a psychological trigger for those to keep reading. This however does not seem like something that should be patentable to me
