It's black and white and red all over. Please tell me you deliberately chose that color scheme for that reason. You'd be my hero if you did.

It should probably have a word counter. Also a spellchecker? Chrome seems to identify the spelling errors, but I don't know if all browsers have this.

To be honest, I am not a designer myself.Experimented with a few colors, this looked decent and pushed it.

Neat Design! Great UI Experience!! Really dig the "origin of species theme" and in app walk over.

Really Usable Product. Would love to publish some books with this.

this is neat - all went good, until I incidentally pressed the 'clear canvas' button on cover page. no undo there?

looking forward for more advance features - full screen, double page editing, collaborative editing and review comments ?

Oh it is not so bad..but I agree it needs a little tweak. I really like the 'pinterest look' red buttons though!
