I will say that I tend to skip all the praise at the front of ebooks. They might have been useful in my more naive and print-book reading days as a suggestion on how good the book is. But I've always viewed those pages as a selling point - something to tempt you to buy the book while you're in the store - rather than anything useful once I actually own the book.  |
I don't disagree with this.
