Book Reviews of Thirst: Poems
Book Review: Poor Formatting of Kindle Version
Summary: 1 Stars
I enjoy Mary Oliver's poetry, so this review only concerns the Kindle version as of June 26, 2009. The poetry seems to be presented as a series of pictures rather than text. This creates a variety of problems. Highlighting doesn't work. Excerpting doesn't work. If you try to select text with the cursor, you just get the magnifying glass icon which will enlarge the paragraph to fill the page. Font size can be changed, but it is inconsistent. A paragraph on one page will be one font size and the next page will be another font size. I haven't tried text to speech, but it could be broken too. Strangely, searching does work. Basically, the formatting of this book negates many of the advantages of e-books.
