It’s not skeuomorphic to books but it does replicate (sort of) what it might look like if a book were printed out a stack on index cards. The shading and the motion is definitely meant to make it feel like a physical object moving.

Isn’t that exactly how most modern websites are designed? Like look at Google’s Material design. UIs are basically cards sliding around the screen.

Except with a stack of cards (or pages) the bottom page would not be moving. The visual is more reminiscent of some sort of assembly / processing line.
