Another lousy ePenguin ebook
The book is I, Claudius by Robert Graves from ePenguins
Although it does not have the frightful typos that occur in Interventions by Noam Chomsky which I reviewed earlier it has an even more irritating fault: text which is supposed to be indented (in blockquotes) starts at about 40% the width of the page from the left side of the screen.
The margins are a little narrower than in Interventions but are still too wide.
In my earlier post I mentioned that I wondered whether ePenguins was producing such shoddy ebooks deliberately so as to drive us back to print books. I think it's a draw between ePenguins and me: I'll never knowingly buy an ePenguin ebook again, but they haven't succeeded in forcing me back to print books and I doubt that I'll buy a Penguin print book either.
Regards, Alex
