Are there any good whitepapers on megatexturing out there? I've been trying to learn about it, but the powerpoints aren't cutting it.

This is the best explanation of the technique I've found (if you need enough detail to implement it): http://silverspaceship.com/src/svt/

He uses the name "Sparse Virtual Textures" instead of megatextures so it's not very googleable. Also it's a video, not a paper, but the code is included.
