The UX is so constrained that you had no choice other than to straight up copy: a) a control to hide the table of contents with a semi-transparent strip hover; b) a table of contents with a near-identical layout; c) a "next page" bumper with opacity-on-hover; d) an annotation stream in a third, right-handed column; d) a cute octopus mascot; etc. etc.
That's not to mention the store.
I mean...imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but I draw a line at copying Otto the Octopus.

You should really be upset they had no interest in stealing any of your content, like those great articles about France (blocked behind a login). Value is in content, not some arbitrary public js + html. I draw the line on drawing porky the platypus, the other hidden inkling mascot which doesn't appear on inkling
