I suspect this is a sign that I'm turning into a curmudgeon. But I find it a bit ironic that a site dedicated to reading like OverDrive would switch to such a graphic-heavy interface. We're not supposed to judge books by their covers, right?
I know that a lot of the crap we're seeing these days is optimized for the smaller - and touch capable - tablet screens. Other than the fact that assumptions are being made about everyone having access to broadband, in many ways it feels like we're going back to those old 800x600 days of the 90s.
I however still love my 22" dual monitors at work and 17" laptop monitor at home, and I hate this trend. I don't want to watch video blogs, I want to read them. I want text options on pages like Overdrive.
How is that page optimized for accessibility choices?
