The Electrolibrary

Talk about going from the page to the screen.

Now with the Electrolibrary your printed book IS the computer interface! 

Inspired by noted Russian artist El Lissitzky  the Electrolibrary is the brainchild of Waldek Węgrzy, a student at Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland.

Here is how it works:

The book can be browsed as any other regular book but when connected to the computer via USB, by turning pages, you can navigate through the website, getting additional information, quotations, movies and animations appropriate to the currently open page.
The content of the book is Waldek’s diploma thesis discussing phenomenon of a book as an interface.

I can’t wait until you can plug one into your Kindle 🙂
