Please please fix the layout. What's there now is not good.

If you look at most professional blogs these days, you'll find some kind of similar layout. We're trying to be taken more seriously as an e-book blog, and we worry that many readers might be turned off by a twenty-year-old look when other sites have a much newer look and feel. Also, it's what our advertisers prefer...and courting advertisers is important for little things like being able to pay our writers and hosting costs without going bankrupt.
But David notes it's not set in stone and that we're willing to experiment a little, if we can do that without annoying advertisers. In the mean while, TeleRead still works great as an RSS feed, too.
ETA: We've tried disabling the slider now, see if that works better.
