Do not buy the Kindle edition!!!  No exam software.  The low star rating is for Amazon ' s false advertising and their going to little effort to right the wrong.

As Lolita is a much-discussed book, this review is not a review of the contents of the book itself (for I don't believe I have anything novel to include on the topic). Instead, I am writing to warn potential buyers of the Kindle version of this book.

I purchased the Kindle edition of Lolita and was shocked by the shoddy quality of it. That is, the Kindle version is nothing more than a scanned copy of the book! As such, you cannot highlight anything or leave comments on different sections. Furthermore, the quality of said scanning is haphazard at best. There were quite a few pages that were scanned crooked, and I lost a few paragraphs of the book because they became illegible in the scanning process.

Frankly, I am astonished that Amazon thought this was an acceptable way to create an ebook. In all honesty, you'd be better borrowing the book from the library and scanning it yourself if you'd like an electronic copy.

Don't buy it in kindle format. I was so excited that I rented this book only to find there is no zoom feature and text is so large that you cannot scroll. You cannot even open it in kindle cloud reader on desktop. So I am forced to buy a hard copy.

Did I like the book yes.  However after stumbling over more then 300 errors I gave up.  It was so disappointing I would like to get my money back.  How can the publisher possibly sell this copy without even looking at the translation from book to e-copy.  It is unforgivable!!!!  Don't buy the kindle version.

Beware: if you use a Kindle for PC, don't make the mistake of buying this. It can not be viewed on a Kindle for PC or downloaded by a Kindle for PC. Amazon does a pitifully inadequate job of telling potential customers that this E-Book can not be used on a Kindle for PC. I didn't learn this until I'd purchased it and had to request a refund.

Terrible on Kindle!!!! I just downloaded this and the newer edition because it's considered one of the best reference guides on crystals. Perhaps in print it's the best but on kindle it's horrible. Any reference on crystals has to have good photos if it wants to be taken seriously. Unfortunately the photos in the e-book are itty bitty and when you try to zoom in to see them better the quality is so poor that it just looks like a colored blob with absolutely no details. This is a serious defect as any illustrations in a kindle book must be digitized in top quality... I would expect to pay7 bucks for a kindle reference book put out by a reputable publisher and author and I'm right to expect top quality for that money...I'm more than disappointed in this e-book... as a field reference it is useless without good photos!!!

I completely agree with Emo (was I your retainer in ATX?) that this unproofed electronic version is a disservice to the author (foremost), the reader, Amazon, and the Kindle.  The hardcopy version is outstanding!  There are so many typographical errors as to render this almost useless.  I will try a sample from this e-publisher before i consider buying from them again....it's just that embarassingly bad.  If you MUST have this on your Kindle, get a free PDF version...with no typographical errors... and send it to your Kindle.

I should have listened to the reviewer that stated that the formatting of this book was terrible on the PC.  It is so bad on my iPad that I was unable to finish or enjoy this book.  This is unlike me because I'm actually quite interested in the subject.

There has been absolutely zero editing done on the kindle version of the book.  Often you'll find severalwordsruntogetherlikethis, forcing you to decode them.  You'll also read for a while and suddenly find that nothing makes sense - this is because there must have been some kind of sidebar or box in the book containing the text.  You don't get this formatting in the kindle version so you are just left scratching your head.  Then all the sudden you continue with the text that you were reading before the sidebar began.  It is very confusing and distracting. I held on for the first few chapter or so, then it just proved too irritating.

I strongly advise against buying this book.  I'd ask for my money back if I could, and I feel like Amazon should remove the book on the basis of quality control.  I'm equally disappointed in Amazon and in the publisher of this book for trying to collect money for this.

I am 10% into the book and am very bothered by the terrible Kindle formatting. Chapter breaks are non-existent. Many paragraphs lack indentation at the first sentance.  Breaks in the story that would be marked by blank lines or starting new ideas on the next page  in a paper book just don't exist on Kindle. These are not rare occurrences, but are found at least every few pages. They make it difficult to tell when characters or settings change. It makes for a very frustrating read. Not worth the kindle price for such poor quality formatting. These problems exist on kindle or ipad and have been reported by multiple friends reading the book! so it's not just a corrupt copy. Please fix this, Amazon! It's embarrassing for you and the author alike.

I have the paperback version of this excellent book, and wanted to be able to have it available as a reference during my travels. Much to my disappointment, this is not a Kindle book per se; instead, it is more like a PDF file. You cannot adjust the font (either style or size). You cannot highlight sections of the text. In sum, you cannot interact with this book the way you can with "true" Kindle books.

I wish I could offer two separate ratings: one for content and one for format.  If I could, I would give it a five-star rating for the former and a one-star rating for the latter. Since I don't have the option, I've opted for the middle of the road three-star rating.

This format issue should be clearly noted on the Amazon page featuring this book.

This is NOT searchable in Kindle version.... the search magnifying glass is lighted out...... so the guide can't even make a good paper weight!  USELESS IN IT'S ENTIRETY.  I WILL ASK FOR A REFUND!!! I already have the printed guide and the ONLY reason I AGREED to get this was to be able to do a search on the entire book like you can on all other Kindle books.  I downloaded this to my ipad.  USELESS USELESS USELESS USELESS!!!!!  Zero stars!!!!

Do not buy the kindle version of this book. I need this for school and while there is a disclaimer stating there may be some content and images missing from the book, it fails to report that there are not page numbers. Since I have to use it for school, when my instructor is referring to specific page numbers on the syllabus,  I am unable to locate the content necessary for an assignment without the help of someone else who has the physical book. Very disappointed with this problem. I have used kindle books for my last 2 classes and not had a problem with page numbers missing. It really should be in the disclaimer as well. If I had known this, I would not have wasted my money on the e-book and would've gone straight to a physical book...which I now have to do...thus paying for books!

Definitely DO NOT order this book. The formatting problems are not minor and Kindle should withdraw this title and fix it. At one point it completely forwarded to the middle of the second book. Elsewhere you enter conversations in progress and a page or so later the parties THEN greet each other. This happens at each point where the large headings appear at the "beginning" of chapters.

I am close to giving up and expect Kindle to give me a credit for this book. One of the problems I can see with the Kindle is how difficult it is to know whether paragraphs are out of order. This is a killer flaw on an otherwise great product. Amazon, you better be paying attention... how many other titles have this same problem?

Well this is some absolute bulls***. Gives me a list of compatible devices that I can read it on, but also has a little sentence buried in there saying it can't be used on Kindle e-readers or the PC app. So basically, I just ordered a textbook which can only be viewed on a phone. Gonna be asking for a refund on this one.

I have no idea why they're selling this for Kindle.  I have Kindle for PC and bought this music, but the program has no zoom feature.  The music is so small that the lines don't show up.

What a waste.  I want my money back

The Kindle version of this book is very poor.  The content is excellent (I have the paper version, too) but navigating the Kindle version is torturous. The table of contents lists the chapters only by numbers without reference to a title (i.e. "Adverbs", "Prepositions", etc.) and you must search manually, and blindly, for the answer keys to the otherwise very good exercises. Other books of its kind have great navigation features. Why doesn't this book? It should not be sold as a Kindle book until it does.
