Greg,

Is there a particular sort of feedback you are looking for with the
Olearia test?  The program does behave totally strangely with the
disclosure triangle, but as you point out, this is already known.

I threw a few books at it to see if any broke it.  None did.

The interface visually looks great, and it was fairly easy to figure out
how to navigate it using VoiceOver (and the key shortcuts nicely relieve
the need to do so!)

All around, I like what I see, and I can't wait to see this thing reading
books!  *smile*

Joseph
