After all, if they're going to be handling it long enough to want to go back a page, they'll probably have figured out the book's 'secret' by then, and be able to adjust the pages to re-read the ones they missed accordingly.

Not very inconvenient, just taking a bit of cleverness away. Wonder if they have thought of dealing with that. Employing "designated flipping corners" like the original ones might do. hmm…try to imagine if you have skipped a page and want to flip back one page or two…

English if you flip through it the normal way, and arabic if you flip through the reverse way. That's how they read books anyway. ^^ They could totally make a duo-language book with that application.
