This is the first thing I see there (in IE 7):

 "This illustrated book was designed for HTML5-compliant browsers
  and will not work with your current browser.
  For the best viewing experience, please download a modern browser,
  or install the Google Chrome Frame plug-in and try launching this site again."

A browser that doesn't handle everything in HTML5 is not "modern"?  Hmph!

FWIW, in spite of that pretentious warning, the site was just as readable in IE
7 as in Google Chrome.

Anyway, I read what was written there, but found it pretty content-less.  What's
the point?
