I have no patience for flipping through my Kindle trying to find something-- I far prefer to use the good old-fashioned "book" book's index to flip through the pages. But I've checked and you're right about that.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-25988239582904162382012-10-07T00:50:49.400-04:002012-10-07T00:50:49.400-04:00Hmm, one of the problems is right at the end - the...Hmm, one of the problems is right at the end - the index seems to be made up of image files, so the text size cant be increased, or searched in that section. To be fair, it is not the worst-formatted e-book I have ever purchased.

I started reading via Kindle more or less from the end of the Rhode chapter onwards. At least there are no annoying recurring errors like printing a bullet's calibre as ?22 !!!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-27294189969186996632012-10-06T23:15:23.908-04:002012-10-06T23:15:23.908-04:00Thanks for the review, Patrick.

However, I’ll read the rest of the book via the paperback I have just ordered, as I am not happy with the formatting on the Kindle. I’ve counted ten separate problems/issues. Individually, they are minor, but added together they detract from the reading experience. <br /><br />I enjoy having an e-book version, and don’t regret its purchase, but this volume will soon join my physical collection as well :)<br />Monica <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
