Why in the world is the entire book center-justified?????

I've never seen e-book text formatted like that before. You can hardly tell who is saying what, and there are no paragraphs. Correction. It's all one long paragraph. Extremely weird. Trying to read a book this way sure does hinder the flow of the story and makes it a much slower and frustrating read. I'm tempted to just give it up.

The entire thing center-justified. Really?
IMHO, speaking as one who has a company that does this, somebody at his book-maker's shop should have spoken to him, if indeed this was his intent. It must be mind-boggling-awful to try to read on a Kindle/ePUB/whatever. I don't think I'd slog through something with NO paragraphs. That feels..."too cute by half." And center-aligned? Yeeeeeeeesh.
