The technology is old now. But more importantly than that it is fundamentally a shit idea imho. Think about it.
The web is not a magazine. People READ online very differently from offline. Why on earth would you try and cram a magazine layout for A4 into a screen?
The page turning animation is cute for about the first 3 pages, then is annoying and pointless.
Design a magazine for online use, sure, but design it for online use. I mean, as that example you posted loads, you get to read how to actually navigate it. If your nav needs explaining, it's broken.
In my humble opinion, as ever.

Good points..... I am just doing some research into the idea and these are good points...
What about the fact that you can download them?
Also a feature I saw that you can embedd vids and also have the pics enlarge when clicked?
Any more thoughts?
Will try to find info on Playboy UK...
Cheers
