Allow left-hand menu to be hidden in text only mode to support enlarging text
When using text-only mode the text of the book can be enlarged using browser zoom to a higher level than when text-only mode is disabled (when using Read Online or download views). For visually impaired users who need to enlarge text to a higher level of magnification than non text-only Read Online or downloads will allow, text-only mode should meet this need. However, as the text is enlarged using browser zoom the left-hand menu (containing table of contents, search etc) also increases in size, covering the book content. The left-hand menu cannot be closed (as it can when text-only mode is disabled). At a zoom level of only 175% the book becomes unusable. If the left-hand menu could be closed and reopened when needed this would solve the problem.

I'm not sure why the menu can't be closed when in text-only mode, it makes the text completely inaccessible. The only way round this issue seems to be to change the settings to disable text-only mode, close the side menu, then change the settings back to text only mode, which is very clunky.
