Book Reviews of the Chickenhawk
Customer Review: Kindle - Publishers need to get it right! sick and tired of ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I will buy this book because it has excellent reviews. But I am tired of two things about Kindle.
(1) Too many books are not available in the Kindle version. To add to this, when they convert a book into Kindle format, they should do it right, instead of a half-jerk way.
(2) Yes, I do think that the publishers are a bit greedy. I'm not against staying in business that means it's necessary to make a profit. But when the Kindle version is either as expensive as the hardcover (at discount places, but that should not matter) or more expensive than the paperback version, it makes me angry. No overhead of stock, shipping expenses, etc....and then they want to charge ridiculous prices.
PUBLISHERS: Get the message. If it is not a superb book, I will not purchase it in Kindle if you charge greedy prices.
Now for the rest of you, if you bought a hardcover that had a binding that fell apart due to bad binding design and construction, I'm sure you would inform us here in the "book review" so we AND the publishers would hopefully hear about it, so do not whine about a book review including criticisms of the Kindle version. Where else could we provide informative information to you. So if you don't like hearing it, get some ear plugs. LOL :)
I gave 4 stars because I will not denigrate the book's content, but am downgrading it due to the Kindle issues mentioned above.
