I tried it on both B1 and preB2. It works on B1, but on pre-B2, the
page (olpc/olpc_book.html) spent several minutes trying to load, then X
crashed and restarted (this happened 3 times). The B1 is running OS
build 231, while the pre-B2 has OS 236, so I'm not sure whether it is
the hardware or the software that is causing the difference.

Cool!
Please add a bug to trac about rotating the direction keys; we didn't
have time to worry about that, but it really needs to get done.
Thanks,

For a talk at the Commonwealth Club in SF on the future of the book, Dan

around and a room of people flipped pages on this cool book on this
nifty laptop.
If you have a B1 OLPC and want to do this, then go to book:

and read the review that has the way to configure the keycodes so that
the direction pad on the tablet map into direction keys and if flips the
pages.
then click on the HTML link on the left hand side.
It looks really good. The 200 dpi screen is very nice even on scanned
pages.
Go open books, go open laptop.
yippie!

PS. next we have to make something real work, but it is nice to see
