Kindle version buggy. Great book

The book was great. Chilling, enthralling. Every voter in American should read it. However the Kindle download was terrible. Buggy and had annoying ads for the audio version which i do not want. No way to turn ad off. I have some others downloaded and if they are like this I'll be going to nook for books! Do not buy the Kindle version.  Great book though and well worth the read just not on kindle

Great book. Very entertaining. But I did run across a problem. I recently purchased a Chromebook and have been extremely pleased with the way it works and what I'm able to do with it.  Trying to read this book via the Kindle Cloud Reader ( the Kindle app which is required for the Chromebook ), it returns a message indicating that "Kindle Cloud Reader can't open this book". I thought possibly I could download it and read it offline but that also doesn't work. I chatted with one of the Kindle support folks ( very helpful and quick to answer my questions ). Her response to my report of this "problem" was that the author didn't allow the cloud reader access to this book.  That really sounds like it's not the right answer but who knows.  In any event , unless someone comes up with a different answer, apparently the cloud reader can't be used to access this particular book; I say "this particular book" because I can access some of Stephen King's other books ( The Shining ).

I love this book. The nutritional information is to the point, the recipes are delicious and healthy, the meal ideas are good, and it's fun to read. I don't eat vegan all the time, but with this book I thoroughly enjoy it.

But the Kindle transcription is awful. Typos throughout, starting in the table of contents. Seriously, Amazon, it looks like you scanned the text, ran OCR, and shipped it out without a second glance. ("Searlet Barley," anyone? How about "Quinos Puttanesea?" Those are both on the second screen of the table of contents.) If you can't get an electronic copy from the publisher, could you please use my $10 to hire some proofreaders?

There are lots of sub-recipes for sauces and so forth, and lots of recommendations for side dishes. All of them are referenced by page number, which of course is useless on the Kindle; hyperlinks could make it really easy to go back and forth, but there are none once you're past the table of contents. You can search for the other recipe... as long as it doesn't have an OCR error in the title. Otherwise you just go back to the table of contents and flip through until you find what you want. Then you use the same clunky tools to go back to the main recipe. Forget about flipping back and forth; it's easier to just write down one of the recipes on a piece of paper.  Kindle has a lot of potential for cookbooks, but it sure doesn't come through here.

Five stars for the book, one for the Kindle edition. Next time I'll just buy paper.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the story itself was very gripping and enjoyed each and every character, I would easily have given it 5 stars.

The kindle edition however leaves much to be desired, misspelt words (including character names), missing spaces, missing punctuation (often the leading quotation mark for speech was absent), etc.
At times this edition detracted from the beauty of this novel.

The kindle edition feels like it was generated using an OCR system, I can't think of any other explanation for the poor quality.
In general there is little excuse, the digital version should be at least as good as the physical book, however the sf masterworks project is ambitious and so for this I am willing to grant a little leeway.

I also wish the included dictionary (explaining foreign words that are used heavily throughout) was easier to access, ideally being used to supplement the kindle's built-in dictionary, however this is a limitation of the kindle rather than the text.

Overall I would still recommend this book, and despite all of this, I will be reading the rest of the series in this same format.

After reading more about the sf masterworks project I still think that what they are trying to achieve is fantastic.
Given the choice between reading Dune on the kindle in it's current state vs reading it in paperback (or worse, not reading at all); I would still pick reading it on the kindle.

This was a gorgeous book. I loved and was moved by the story. But this was a case of the Kindle version having so many typos that it was distracting and interfered with my enjoyment of reading. At one point, after introducing a character called "Chacko", I found another character called "Ghacko." I spent a bit of time re-reading to convince myself that this was also a typo. Read the book, but not the Kindle version.

I've read this book before. Years ago. Love the book but, the kindle edition is in need of some better proof reading. There are too many misspellings that should have been caught. Don't get me wrong, I like my kindle and use the features such as the dictionary function and the ability to change the type size ( I am a bit older now :-)) But please better proof reading!

I got the kindle version of this book.  It's buggy. The maps either were not there or couldn't enlarge. The book is good, because the descriptions are succinct and good when you're travelling.

Vocabulary, to begin with. Then the flow. Fantastic! But the Kindle edition is slightly flawed. For eg, don't is written as don't and many such punctuations are missing. The book of course is very good.

Great book. A lot I've already heard from some of his talks, but repetition is never a bad thing. The only issue I had was that the Kindle version which I purchased was poorly proofread and/or edited. There were many typographical mistakes. It's still readable, but sometimes I had to re-read and translate because words were left out or wrong words were in place.

I would love to read this book, but the Kindle version is SO messed up....first page seems to be missing, 4th page missing, gave up after that. Please fix this so we CAN read it on Kindle.

This actually is a well written and informative book.  However, the Kindle version is corrupt.  I've never had a kindle book that regardless of where I am in the book, if I close out to the home screen and go back in it loses my place.  In fact, when I get to the home screen I can actually watch the percentage that I've read return to 0%.  Just a glitch.  Returned the kindle book and bought the paperback instead.

I am loving this book, but I wanted to leave a review about the formatting of the Kindle edition. It seems as if the publisher did a very quick and sloppy conversion from the print edition to digital and there are some incredibly frustrating and distracting issues. There are paragraphs broken up in between sentences, words missing letters or merged with others, footnotes inserted in the middle of paragraphs and pages, and worst of all, quotes without any distinct formatting or quotation marks, making it very difficult to understand who is being quoted and where each quotation ends.

I would definitely recommend this book, but NOT in this digital format!

We love this book. The digital version is best for us because my toddler eats board books. Unfortunately, the Kindle format doubles pages and doesn't flow smoothly. Please fix!

The story is great, and I loved reading it. The reason I gave it a 3 is because the Kindle version had some major issues. You could only read it in landscape mode and on every page it had words that were missing letters. It was like someone whited out half of 3 or 4 words on each page. The Kindle version needs some work, but the book is great!

Love the book but..... If you read it on the kindle keyboard instead of an app it has many errors.
on keyboard location 5618 for example
  "His show?"
scam. He must have the goods on a lot of us."

on kindle app its at location 5618
 "His show?"
Sabrina rolled her eyes at me. "His scam. He must have the goods on a lot of us."

The book is great. Is also own the paperback (German) edition and I really love it. The book is a MacNally at his best. Starting with basics, always keeping the reader interested by adding good real life stories. He knows how to write photography books. This is a must for every beginner.

Now for the bad part. The Kindle edition is one of the worst I ever had. From my devices (Kindle Keyboard, Paperwhite, iPhone, iPad, Mac) it only works on the I-devices. Bummer! And when it works, it only is some kind of PDF without any reflow or adaption to the device. To be honest, this is not an ebook. This is just some pre-layouted pages transferred as images.

Just buy another edition of this great book!
