j.p.s · 11-23-2018, 01:43 PM

I've updated post #2 in this thread to reflect that my fixes for SPQR have been added to the github repository and attached for convenience to past #2 as fix_xray-0.1.2.zip

SPQR is an excellent book and its everyday US price for the Kindle edition is lower than its UK daily deal price earlier this year ($5.57 but, as usual for the US, slightly higher than the hardcover price and substantially higher than the paperback price). Its many illustrations render reasonably well on e-ink and the maps are legible when zoomed. I found the XRAY feature helpful while reading, but in my opinion the fixes are greatly needed. Wouldn't you think the following would be for two very different books?

Code:

Name             Mentions
Caligula         546
Cicero's brother 456

Code:

Name             Mentions
Cicero           410
Caesar Augustus  289
Julius Caesar    243
Cicero's brother  13
Caligula           9
Cicero's son       3
