[QUOTE="TJCacher, post: 602601, member: 49431"] I also am a big fan of reading on portable devices, and have immensely enjoyed reading with my iPhone on the iPhone-specific websites readdle.com and textonphone.com. The latter, in particular, is superb, and I would recommend it as a model for anyone constructing a reader site for a portable device. Your site was Ok but I wouldn't be tempted to use it as a recreational reading site for the following reasons: 1. No "page forward" function - "Readers page, browsers scroll". 2. Remember where I stopped reading and take me back there when I return. The doorbell page was ok although I had to double-tap the page to zoom it up in size to make it readable on the phone's screen. The pages themselves were readable in both portrait and landscape modes, although, once again, this required a double-tap to zoom them up to comfortable reading size. Two additional observations: - I was in landscape mode when I first loaded the site's main page, and the formatting was a bit confusing - switching to portrait mode made the page's purpose and function clear, but the layout isn't great for iPhones in landscape mode. - maybe it's just a test version of your site and you didn't actually intend to have the full works available, but I couldn't figure out any way to read past the first page of any of the works on the site. Once I reached the bottom of the page, there were only links to take me to a previous page (wasn't I already on the first?), the home page and an author's page. Hope these comments are helpful - we can use all the reading sites we can get. With that said, I don't think there will be any way for you to produce a really proper iPhone site unless you beg, borrow or steal a real iPhone somehow. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
