[IxDA Discuss] UI design for digital books with extensive footnotes

[Jenifer Tidwell]

Well, just by looking at what's on my desktop right now... Outlook does that
with lists of email messages.  And a Web-based image viewer is giving me
thumbnails on the left, full picture on the right.  Not text, but similar.

I don't suppose a UI that I wrote really counts. :-)

And isn't folder navigation a really common use case for a lot of people?
