I think the header should include "Racket", probably to the right of the
logo.

I tried it on an iPhone running an oldish iOS (5.1.1 it seems).  The text
size is more readable, but the organization/layout needs work.  For
example, after the top header I see headings and sections in the
following order (note the "News" heading):


 Racket: A programmable
 programming language

 Racket is a wide-spectrum ... 

 Start Quickly

 News

 <
 (sample program)

 Racket version 5.3.5 has been released.

 Racket videos are now available.

 ...

The subsequent headings/sections seem ordered ok, but the sections
themselves could be more clearly set apart from each other.

Also, the book cover images take up a lot of screen space (full width of
the page) on the phone.
