Some content is cut off at 1024x768, which is my monitor setting at home.

The pop-up boxes mostly work okay, but I have to wonder what'll happen when there's a dozen or more categories in each. I think that most of them will continue past the edge of my screen. However, the fact that clicking on the main listing words does *nothing* is bad web design. At the least, click should call up the same popup as mouseover does.

Having categories you can click on, but have no content, is a bad idea, especially since no overall browsing seems to be available. And it doesn't even let you know "no books are available in this category." I could not find any of these 36 free ePubs; apparently, they're not in the categories I looked at.

Database is one word, not two. I am very curious about which classic books about "Data Bases" are expected to eventually be offered.

I really, really wish promoters would stop advertising their not-ready-for-real-business websites. Or at least would mention that the site's in beta stage, and they're hoping visitors will overlook the huge gaps in usability.
