Thanks for that, you really helped me out. I wonder why all the publishers in the UK are moving away from mmpbs in favour of B format books? Most B formats cost the same as their smaller predecessors, and if they are more expensive, it's usually only £1-£2 more. I would have thought it would be the other way, as mmpbs are more portable and convenient. This strikes me as odd since one of the main shouting points of ereaders is that they are lighter, smaller and easier to hold. Any thoughts anyone?
