Someone commented to me recently, we just had to have time to get used to it before we learned to ignore it, similar to banner ads and email spam.

Props go out to those guys. Seems like a lot of work for a magazine article.

Watching the demo, I think having to navigate text and such by pushing on arrows and so is a mistake. If something pretends to be a magazine, interactive or not, it ought to notice that, when reading a mag, one wants not to have to deal with navigation other than turning the page. Passive media consumption is at its best the most passive the consumer can be :D (I believe there is hardly any middle ground between a movie or a book and a videogame). We’ll see how it goes.
