It's a complete mess in IE8--no book titles visible at all! I'm not terribly impressed with the site in Firefox either, but at least you can tell what you're clicking on.

Is "Goodlistens" replacing the other Tantor site? When I tried to look at it from my work computer, it's almost entirely blocked by our security policies (for example, I can't check web mail sites from work).

No, it's a companion website offering free samples and author interviews. The main Tantor website has not been upgraded yet; but will be shortly.

I use Firefox (v21) and it looks fine to me. Not much content yet -- 4 samples, 4 chapters, and 4 interviews. But then, maybe that's all they plan on offering each week.
