I'm about halfway through the Scarlet Lion. I like it, what can I say I'm a sucker for historical fiction and Elisabeth Chadwick knows how to write. As a bonus I'm learning a whole bunch of new words that I didn't know from before.

The only thing that bothers me is that it was bought as a package with all three books. You download one file and the file contains all three books.

This is not a good way to publish any series.

First of all it's very hard to keep track off how far you've gotten into the book because the total is shown for all three books .

Second when you want to jump directly to book number two or three you've got to page through the TOC to find the right jump spot

This is a problem I've seen on several occasions when buying a series.
- They're not splitting it into several files which clearly should have been done for the benefit of the consumer. I can see the usefulness of just having one file for organisational purposes but it doesn't way up for the problems with the readability.
