Kindling The Book

By Tangotiger, 05:48 PM

A recent review on Amazon:

I purchased “The Book” on Kindle but to get its full value I need to re-purchase it in its paperback version. My Kindle reading experience has been okay for fiction but is simply terrible for any non-fiction work that uses charts and/or graphs to illustrate clearly the points the authors want to make. There are many useful charts in “The Book” but, on Kindle, one needs to make additional “clicks” to refer back to the previous chart one is looking for (e.g., search for “chart,” then click on one of the the highlighted words ("chart"), and one of the charts will appear on a new page). This is a tedious experience at best and an annoying one at worst. In its print version, you can, of course, simply keep your finger on the page that first displayed the chart and flip back and forth between it and the later text.

I don’t own a Kindle, and am interested to hear from those who have read The Book on Kindle.
