Home Depot Using Flex for Weekly Ads Online

Home Depot is using Flex for displaying their weekly printed ads online, through the shoplocal.com website. The site allows you to browse the print ad from your area to see the sales going on. (Enter 90210 to see a sample... The most popular Zip Code for non-US residents.) A number of different views allow you to easily navigate the material, including a neat zoom view that allows you to pan over the entire page. Ely Greenfield's Flex Book component appears to be getting some good use - I think they're using that component to animate the ad when you switch pages. I hope he's getting royalties.

This application follows Mixbook, which I blogged about earlier this week, which also uses the Flex Book component to animate turning the page. Zinio could use something similar for their online magazines.
