I love the story and purchased it as an ebook the first time I found it available and I do like the added content but the amateurishness of the production.
I remember the book from a long time ago and decided to purchase it. I paid $2 because I like to pay for services rendered.

But it is indeed a mess, at least the epub version. Formatting is very bad and you can't change the very small textsize. I tried this in the Marvin, Mapleread and Hyphen ebook readers.

Embedding a font using Calibre made it at least possible to increase the textsize. So the book is now readable.

Edit: The Calibre ebook reader could handle the original epub in my Windows PC.
