I wasn't aware that the site didn't work on the ipad et al. That's a target audience the devlopers will miss. I don't know if I'd judge the quality of the website based on the experience on that particular platform.

I didn't feel like recompiling lynx for my machine since I haven't installed a development environment that would allow me to do so. So I found an old version and that may be my problem but I could not login to
www.mobileread.com/forums/. I could browse the forums but could not post. By that standard, this forum is
unprofessional.
Professional websites should take advantage of technologies available to the developer. They should also provide alternative sites/content for those that cannot access their rich content so the site is at least usable. In this particular area the Team Research site does not succeed.
