I feel like this was designed to be read on a smartphone. I find it uncomfortable reading this on my 15" laptop screen. That aside, content looks interesting.
Or to be resilient to reading.

#12> This is a web book, designed to be read on the web (with or without an internet connection).
I'm not usually one to complain about free content, but with a fontsize like that it was designed to be read across the street from the web. I couldn't make it through the intro page.

#13I hate to be the one to comment on form instead of content... But a body text of "2.5 em" is literally unreadable. Anyone trying to talk about web design, while using letters that are 2.5^2 = 6.25 times larger by area than normal , I can't take seriously enough to even begin to read.
+9000 like seriously, I get it's mobile "friendly" design, but seriously being unable to display a nav/menu with only 10 items in fullscreen on a 23" 1080p display is the perfect example of a bad UI/UX.

It's hard to take a book about web design so seriously when its so poorly designed itself. Right off the bat, the author(?) demonstrates they not up to the job to talk about such a topic.

The large font size isn't even to be "mobile friendly" - the site uses media queries to give mobile viewports specific styles.

I wonder what's the point of this trend... the only thing I can think of is the "looks good on my machine" and the mac/retina display resolution maybe? not a mac user so idk...
I usually get mockups/prototypes bigger than it should because the designer eyeballed it on his/her machine

#17Can't read it, font is way too big
Re: Resilient Web Design
#18From a mobile perspective, this site is beautiful.
1) renders beautifully, easy font size to read
2) offline access, so I can read it whenever
3) gave me the option to add to home screen, which when selected, opens in its own native app.
Can't speak for the content yet, but the experience so far is amazing.

Unreadable for me on a MacPro and an iPad. It's not Apple related.
Re: Resilient Web Design
#20I find complaints about "big font" bizarro. It's made so that a reasonable amount of letters/words fits on each row, the same as its the norm for ages in print and elsewhere.
Obviously the bigger you can get the font AND keep that property, the better.
