This has long been one of my favorite slides in 29th Street Publishing's deck. Lev, not quite two, reads the New York Times' Book Review while sitting in his mother's lap. The point of the slide is that reading apps (iPad publications, iBooks, e-Readers, etc.) have a long way to go to match the user experience of paper. Reading across a line and turning the page is primal behavior. The deck is getting shorter but I wanted this slide to live on. Here it is!

Great picture! I recognize the people and the train. I'm assuming you had just left Penn Station headed west? The Book Review looks a little too unwrinkled for being the end of a trip.
