e book format

I "borrowed" my first library e book. The print is light and the formatting kind of strange. Every other page is only a half page. Spacing is sometimes double, sometimes single. Is this normal and what I should expect? All the content is there. Thanks!

Absolutely not.

Use the 'contact us' button on your library, and tell someone.

Is it ePub or PDF? What book is it in case I can also borrow it to test it.

Have you tried viewing it with ADE to see if it's a problem with the nook or not?

I can get the PDF, but I'd be the 3rd on the waiting list.

ADE - Adobe Digital Editions. It works (to a point) with any compatible device, like the nook or the Sony Readers. You can also download a free application to read the same ebooks on your computer from here.
