Two issues arise:-
1) The format is poor, as pages end half way up a page and sometimes in mid-sentence. The authors name is irritatingly,liberally sprinkled, at the top or bottom of many pages.

2) When changing the font size you do not change the numerical number of pages just the number of page turns. There are just more pages with the same number.

Perfection would be, to be able to read the ebook as you would a normal paper book, with proper endings to chapters and no excessive views of the name of the author. Is this obtainable and I am just not experiencing it for some reason, or is it with the current plethora of formats, a pipe-dream? If I can change any of what I have described, can someone let me know how to do it?
I have found the same issues, however, the opportunity for reading a free library book seems to outweigh the disadvantages. Hard to beat the price.
