Looking for a HTML5 / Javascript PDF Page Flipper

I'm looking for a non-Flash 'page flipper' that is capable of displaying PDFs. The example I've been given (in Flash) is: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.nl/digital/1043/index/book/outlanderbrochure.aspx

I looked into Uniflip but it seems to be Flash only. FlipBook looks decent (jQuery) but doesn't seem to support PDFs.

We can afford to pay for this, but we don't have time to build it ourselves. Does anyone know of anything out there?

Thanks!

Mozilla has been working on a JS-only PDF renderer for a while:

Here's a demo of it in action:

But this is a proof-of-concept HTML5 library and it is cutting-edge. If you need to support a lot of browsers, you're stuck with Flash or rendering the PDF as graphics, neither of which is an attractive option.
