Am I missing something? The default area where the book loads is way to small to read anything, and it may be the fact that I'm so zoomed out, but this looks like it was scanned it or something. Blurry and not leveled...

If you enable flash and click "Click to read" it'll go into fullscreen mode. Not exactly intuitive...

It's also just plain frustrating to read. The first page turn moves the page controls over, and then every subsequent page turn takes almost an entire second for its goofy animation to finish.

Why do so many e-reader/document-reader sites/apps insist on replicating old paper books buy forcing you to pause and watch a dumb animation on every page turn?
