Apple has now taken ownership of being able to turn pages on a device.

Do they really need to do something like this?

Should they even be able to make patents like this?

It's smart on their end but they shouldn't be allowed to do that. It's not like they actually designed something unique, it's a generic graphic of a page turning. They're just in it to make money at this point and it's starting to really show. This is disappointing.

This seems as pointless as SOPA or PIPA, and that is assuming those pieces of legislation didn't have any security risks. Good luck enforcing this patent, I'm going to continue reading my books/.epub(s)/etc. regardless if I can turn a page or not.

Next thing you know they'll somehow get their hands on a keyboard patent.

"IF YOU HAVE A KEYBOARD AND IT DOESN'T HAVE OUR LOGO THEN YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW!!!"

Seriously, half the things they're patenting nowadays are things that have been around before Apple's use of them. It makes me wonder if they fear the competition THAT MUCH.
