Man, functionality aside since I haven't used it, it is not very impressive. I would describe it as ugly as sin. It looks like the graphics were all thrown together in an afternoon. I hope it is placeholder.
- They replaced the nice soft gray/blue Chrome UI with a harsh gray one.
-The keyboard buttons are flat and lifeless.
-Arrows for selecting text has no depth and high contrast border.
-The page turning looks like something from the 90s
-The Youtube videos pop in from the left
This has really set my expectations low for what was suppose to be a significant UI upgrade. As a designer this makes me cringe.
You can't argue with the page turning, though. I have no idea how the Google engineers turn a page, since it's nothing like anyone else does it (or iBooks, for that matter).
