This has only just become available in the UK in ebook format. I have the previous three books in the series from before geographic restrictions became too restrictive, so it's nice to finally get this one.

The quality of the UK Kindle version leaves a little to be desired in terms of the graphics - the cover image has been clumsily done and has a white band of a couple of pixels at the bottom that shouldn't be there. The images inside are of low resolution and quality, not even making use of the full 63K any mobipocket image can have, let alone being sized for the Kindle screen and using the full 127K.

I can (& have) fixed these problems in my issue, but they shouldn't be there really. At least the text seems to be nicely formatted.

I pre-ordered this one, when it was sdiscounted to £5.59. It's now listed at £5.38. (& the paperback, which was at £5.66 is now showing as £5.03!)

But thanks to Amazon's pre-order price guarantee, I got charged only £4.68. At some point between when I ordered and today, Amazon must have been offering the Kindle version at that price.
I'm curious in how much you liked it. I like the series but I'm ready for it to end and was hoping it would in this book.
