Kindle eTextbook is Lacking

I got this eText so i wouldnt have to carry anymore heavy books to class. In the class i got it for, we use a lot of the quizzes and things in the book. But the KINDLE VERSION blocks them saying it has a copyright restriction. I would never have bought this had i known this!

Content looks wonderful, I'm giving the Kindle version a rating of 2-stars for the lack of linked TOC.
Sometimes when the sample lacks a TOC, it is not true for the actual version of the book, so I took a chance only to find that this is not the case here. There is a somewhat TOC, Kindle won't go directly to it and only some of the chapters are linked. For a $14.95 Kindle book, this is unacceptable to me.

A book like this really needs a TOC in order to be useful.
Maybe the author/publisher will correct this in a later Kindle book?
I'm returning the Kindle version and looking to maybe pick up the dead tree version.

I was looking for the classic version on Kindle, and that's what I got. However, I was deeply disappointed that there wasn't a table of contents. I had to click my way through until I reached today's date. Be forewarned. It's the one thing I dislike about Kindle books. If you're going to put a devotional on Kindle, be kind enough to include a table of contents.

This version of BP for the Kindle does not have an Index or Table of Contents! How can this be? How can a baseball fan find out about a player without an index? How can one find out about a team without a Table of Contents? All of the other reviews about the quality of the writing are important, but for a Kindle user of the BP the absence of an Index and a TofC are really crippling.

Read entire listing with its description. It is listed under the HARD COVER category but it's not a book at all. It should be listed under eTextbook.

I really miss the paddle buttons of the Kindle Keyboard. I don't think a touchscreen was at all necessary for an eReader. I find it doesn't work very well - it jumps backwards and forwards if you accidentally brush the screen, the "back" area seems poorly defined and it usually moves me forward a page when I want to go back, and it's slow to pull up the dictionary window if I highlight a word.

I am giving this Kindle book a 1 because as soon as I got it I realized it has no table of contents.

I am really sick of paying good money for Kindle stuff and finding that the functionality is missing,
such as figures, diagrams, page numbers, table of contents, etc.

All books should have a table of contents even if they are minimal.

I love Amazon, but as much as they do good for the customer their Kindle division always seems out
to short or screw the customer.

Start doing books right, start giving me the same value in a Kindle book that I would expect and
take for granted in a regular book.

I look forward to reading the book, so my comment is about format not content. I had hoped that there would be a dictionary feature similar to that in other Kindle books. There is not. Judging from the completely generic definitions in English-language editions, it would not seem to be a far reach to include that feature. For my use, the dictionary feature could provide either English or Spanish definitions. I will be looking around for electronic readers that provide that feature.

InDesign is a very complicated program, I took an InDesign class last semester & the ebook came in super handy, even for a first timer like me.
The one downside to the new Kindle version is that there is no longer a copy/cut & paste feature, so you cannot paste notes into a word doc. I ended up using split screen on my laptop, & using The Dragon/speech software to take notes in a word doc. :(

I have had problems with the Kindle editions of other books with non-standard page layout, so I I ordered this in the expectation that I would be somehow disappointed in the experience. I just wanted to see how close an e-edition could come to the hardcopy ideal of facing-page layout. I think there is probably a solution to the bilingual facing-page tradition in kindle editions, but no one in the kindle display coding factory has figured it out yet. The best thing I can say is that if your primary goal is learning the language, flipping a couple of pages forward to check the English translation before jumping back to the Russian is annoying in the extreme, but not absolutely fatal to the learning experience.

On a larger tablet screen, maybe the books could be displayed in top and bottom panels; I don't think side by side columns would work, but there might be hope for a tablet held in landscape mode. (I haven't looked into the full-screen on-line reader app because I don't read books that way.) On a small Kindle screen, even the new larger Oasis, there just isn't enough display space to do what needs to be done.

I love my kindle from all aspects but one...the browser is not up to market and I have no choice really but to use it. It is very limited ..more than an iPad..if amazon fixes this I will be much happier

if you buy this etextbook you do not have a connect access card with it. So make sure its not required in your class because its an extra $80 that would come with the book if you bought it in your bookstore!

Unfortunately it has tables in it which are important to the use of the book, that are unable to be read on the kindle. Not suitable for a kindle purchase.
