Sounds normal to me. PDF is not a good ebook format.
PDF is
excellent if you want to reproduce exactly the original look and layout of printed material. It's
terrible if you want to change the font size or reflow the text in any way.

Now the font is large enough for me to read it, but I always get a full page, followed by half a page. I also noted that the page numbers at the bottom stay the same on both of these two pages.
Is this common with pdfs? It is a rather unpleasent reading experience and I am annoyed because I paid money for it. By the way, I bought the book from BooksAboutEverything.
Thanks
Robert
