Ahem - it pretty difficult to go back to
that exciting chapter when the book in question does not have any. Which is what the thread is about
FYI. I myself am reading it on an android tablet, in Moon+ reader, so I can interrupt myself with social trivia like this response, any time I choose to. But if I still had my Kindle Oasis, I would have given it the same
split into chapters treatment
and to whoever checked out the kindle sample - yes it has scene breaks, 187 of them . I converted each one into a new chapter. So each now starts on a new e-device "page" . IF W Smith doesn't like that, he should have stuck to PDF or more carefully thought through allowing the kindle & epub versions to be sold
He and all the other authors I read may be equally horrified that I mercilessly delete dedications to people I will never meet or have never hear of, and epigrams from Dead White Guys without even reading them. Quel Philistine.
as for " It doesn't give you the right to revise it.". i can colour in, scribble in the margin, or otherwise deface MY copy of any $14.95 printed book I buy. My copy, My rules.
In e-format, I can highlight, annotate... and even share! my scandalous behaviour those 'cos amazon invented this thing called
most popular highlights. and enabled it by default in all of their readers.
Better organise an authors' strike immediately until such behaviour is supressed.
