I'm very interested in what they think, too.
Their look is the key - the logo should fit.

Concerning the choice for the "f" -  it represents the "f"ont, where 
the  book beneath it is the "open library" part of openfontlibrary.
because of that I would prefer not to use a more sexy but unrelated 
charater.

The transformation is a 30° skew, exactly like the book. That indeed 
gives the letter more "surface" than an actual rotation in a isometric 
space.
So I tried bold semi-condensed, wich works much better :)
