I built a mobile site, could smartphone users let me know if it looks okay?
I recently built a mini mobile site for Stranger Will. I've looked at it on two different phones, and it looks great. But, I need a larger sample.
Could anyone with a mobile site take a quick look and let me know if anything renders wrong?

It works properly, but you do have a minor problem. Your choice to include all your text in images makes it behave a little oddly. On my phone, the text is a little smaller than I would prefer, when I zoom in, since it is zooming a jpg it gets blurry. If it were actual text, my phone would smooth the fonts.
The other problem with using images for text is file size. Between 2 pages you end up with nearly 750KB of images for text. That doesn't sound like a lot, but for a mobile user that can potentially be a hell of a long wait. If they even do. If you used HTML instead, it would only be several KB in file size and would load with lickity-splitness.
It's not a huge thing, but it would be a pretty simple fix.
Great points. Thank you! I originally tried the text method, but my use of CSS to render the text didn't work out for me. I got impatient. But your reply makes sense, and I need to jump back in and try again. Thanks again.
Okay, I think I've made it better. I still have to work on the typography of the landing page (the one with the book cover) and the resolution of the buy buttons on the "Buy" page, but at least I got the CSS thing figured out.
It looks great Caleb. Which reminds me I need to order Stranger Will!
