I bought the first 4 books in a set on Amazon. Only reason I bought it was because it was in the best seller list there and the description sounded good. However, I haven't even finished the first book so far because I somehow managed to lose track of things early on and I wasn't in the mood for backtracking or starting over. And the user opinions I read afterward didn't motivate me much either.

Aside from the content I was also having slight technical difficulties as Amazon gave me the four books in one big file, and the Kindle Android app didn't really handle it well navigation wise. If you touch the display the wrong way it's possible it fast forwards you to X% of the book (which in this case is another book entirely) and it takes ages to find the previous location. Chapter navigation doesn't work right and the chapter names don't help much either.

At least now I know what is the point of the virtual bookmark feature. Even so I wish that Amazon at least gave you separate files for the books even if you bought it as a set.
