This is the current edition of the English 1B textbook that I use. I just downloaded the $30 "free trial" e-text. It's a PDF. I am able to expand it on my Kindle screen, as I have been unable with a number of other documents. It immediately pixelates so I'm sure all you experienced formatters know what that means - it's at 72 DPI.
I honestly am going to school but download the "free" trial version of the $30 e-text from one of the biggest publishers. I couldn't teach out of this or with students using this. |
Yes:
Well, of course. "Print Replica" is essentially a PDF, slapped inside a wrapper that makes it a Kindle file. And you're going to have exactly the experience you've described, if the publisher provided Amazon with a crap PDF to begin with. That's not a "converted" eBook. That's...that's a low-quality PDF disguised as an eBook. It's pretending.
Does that help?
(And guys, sorry if apodictic was a problem, but it seemed apt to the proposition about Kindle sales #'s.)
