Yes! It’s just that the feel of the two websites are so different. And part of it may be my imagination. But it feels like the old HPMOR site is a simple elegant wrapper around the book, while on here it is the book is dumped into a website that wasn’t made for it. Like the difference between a person wearing clothes, and someone inside of a giant human shaped suit that mimicked their motions.
