Although I bought my reader last October I have only just decided to read the free excerpts on it. One of them is "About the Size of It" by Warwick Cairns. Quite an interesting book about the history of measurement systems, I thought--might buy that. But can I find it on the Waterstones site? They have paperback and hardback editions, but they do not seem to have the ebook. I also can't find it on Fictionwise or BooksOnBoard.

If you search BoB for "About the Size of It" you get back "Size Matters: The Hard Facts About Male Sexuality That Every Woman Should Know", which tickled my rather puerile sense of humour.

Anyway, a black mark against Waterstones.
