Book Reviews of Music Theory for Guitarists: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask (Guitar Method)

Book Review: graphics not "fit" for iPhone and iTouch kindle software users
Summary: 3 Stars

This review applies to folks interested in digital purchases envisioned for use on small-format devices, namely, users of the Kindle software for iPhone or iTouch devices. No doubt the printed book and purchasers with the actual Kindle hardware will be fine with this otherwise excellent material.

If you are going to purchase this electronically with the intent to only view it on an iPhone or an iTouch - DO NOT. You will be disappointed in how small the music and other diagrams are - they are close to illegible. The images are present, but are sized to fully fit these small-format devices. I have purchased over a Kindle Software-only half-dozen books and have been pleased with the text viewing experience, but I won't purchase books with graphics, diagrams or figures in the future -- unless there is some coding and features added to the Kindle software that allows us "small screen" users to zoom in on graphics.

Changing fonts doesn't improve how the diagrams/figures display. :/
