Apparently the book objects, the thumbnails, don't pass through scroll events. I can only imagine they didn't catch on to this because they tested it on a touch screen.

Well, I'm on a touch screen and seeing the same behavior (can't scroll if the drag starts on a cover image), so unfortunately it doesn't seem like they have that excuse lol

The comments about the bad UI got me to check it out (on my phone). Don't know if this is what everyone meant, but the two books I checked had some wonky formatting going on. They both some loooong strings of gibberish, and paragraphs would have seemingly random line breaks. Also, one opened up the first chapter with "RE was a(...)" when it probably should have the word "THERE". So not sure how exactly it's pulling text.
Actually, is anyone familiar with the Count of Monte Cristo? Because uh... I just want to know how "accurate" this part is.
Uhhh...why do we need to promote slop websites like this, when we have Open Library or Project Gutenberg?
Just want to make sure that anyone remotely interested in this knows about Project Gutenberg.

it's an interesting site, but it isn't a very user friendly site with how it works.
check the source -- its unreal.
Oh, good lord, that's cursed.
I've seen some bad vibe coding but this is a masterclass.
