michael, i can't believe you are using _marcello_ to "correct" something that i said. i am amused. :+) all of the platforms can be used to read k-books. the book has the same words, in the same order. none of them show a book that is "simulated". (or should i say that _all_ of 'em do? i dunno. these philosophical questions are too _hard_!) -bowerbird
