Feel free to follow up via the contact form if you'd like to and and
along a screenshot (for the "it appears to be an HTML page" since I
can't quite visualize what you're talking about and I'd love to
understand this better). We don't have a lot of Linux users who
contact us but we definitely have some and they've been able to use
the site, download books and use the BookReader just fine. The
documentation for the BookReader is available here
http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader
and the source code is here
https://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader
It seems from my view that you've got something that is keeping the
"page flippy" thing from being able to work which implies a
javascript-y thing to my read. The book reader is built on some jquery
stuff With others who have had various "this part loads but that part
doesn't" issues we often tell them to look at their firewall and
virus-blocking tools in case it's blocking some of the parts of the
page from loading (can you see the click-down menu in the upper right
of OpenLibrary where your name is when you are logged in? sometimes
people who can't do that also have BookReader problems).
I'm not super technical about this stuff, but I have seen hundreds of
people report various problems and this one is one I haven't seen
before.
