On Stephenson’s page, there’s a link to the publisher’s site where you can view some basic information about the book and read a couple sample chapters. What’s interesting from a UX standpoint is that you can’t enlarge or adjust the size of the text. On my MacBook Pro, visibility isn’t a problem, but I’d be curious to see the experience on the Kindle, iPhone, or other device. The text also looks like it’s been OCR’d rather than being transferred as a straight digital file, because the font serifs seem more blurry than they should otherwise be. This is still a beta version, though, and the Feedback tab is very visible.
