Looking for as many critical comments as possible about my
site:

http://www.motionmountain.net

The site allows anybody to download
a 1300 page physics textbook for free.
The text is written to be as surprising
and captivating as possible.

What can be improved?

Very little, I reckon; it's already rather slick, clear and polished.

I noticed one possible minor inconsistency. At the top of the "Project" page, the anchors don't use the same mouse hover effect as the menu on the left ("Aim" seems to be highlighted permanently).

Very interesting book .. I love the idea of it .. I'm going to read it ..

here is my comment on your site

1- I can read Arabic, but your Arabic fonts are very small and very hard to read, since the arabic language uses many dots.

Make the Arabic font a bit larger.

2- The menu is not very smooth, it skips when you move the mouse a lil faster
3- use form for mailing list instead of simple email link
4- use images for east asian words (right menu) instead of font
5- The Author link must be on top of the Menu

here is the best way for menu order

The colors of the site look nice and I like the navigation on the right side with those rollovers. You have a simplistic logo that suits the site very nicely. Well done :)

1. Make the Arabic font a bit larger: Is it ok now?

2. The menu is not very smooth, it skips when you move the mouse a lil faster:
that is a tough one: what can I do here? Is there a way to speed it up?
