Jeff Prosise's 3D Comic Book Cover Viewer
Jeff has been working to build an ASP.NET 2.0 sample app to search and index comic books called MyComix. The design for this was done by Kevin Goldman. Recently Jeff added a Silverlight based cover viewer for each comic that lets you flip the book over and see the front and back. This is a very cool 3D effect faked using 2D transforms.
For more information and source visit Jeff's blog posts on MyComix and the Silverlight viewer. The MyComix main page is here. Click the image below to jump directly to the Silverlight viewer.

David Anson's Silverlight Based XPS Viewer
David Anson has created an XPS viewer using the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha. This app is a very cool idea and really highlights the possibilities of the XAML ecosystem. David's blog post has more information on how this app was created and he's also posted source. Hopefully we can fix the downloader crash he found when opening an XPS .zip file before v1 of Silverlight ships this summer. Click the image below to run the sample.
