All up I like what you're doing but it's broken in Opera. After playing in Firefox:

- Text selection is really awkward, drag too far and you select unrelated stuff from nearby elements instead or as well

- The navigation stuff feels really weird down the bottom, probably because most software puts that stuff up the top

- The blue/gray page strip is weird, it feels more like a zoom tool rather than page navigation

- In book/slideshow mode the length of the page and the toolbar being all the way at the bottom makes me think I should still be scrolling

- Zooming in book mode has some of the site components overlaying it, in slideshow mode it adjusts properly

Same in Chrome. Perhaps making images into CSS background images of the slides would fix this.

Thanks very much for the feedback! We'll investigate all of these. Opera support has become a high priority fix for us.
