Naturally, once I discovered a normal single column version existed directly following the unreadable version, I paged on past.
But why, oh, why would any SANE ebook publisher do this? Why have it formatted in a way that's going to be positively impossible to read on most ereaders when it was obviously possible to format it in a readable manner? Why have BOTH versions present?
Although what I read was a library epub, I went over to Amazon just to see if any reviews mentioned this. A lot of people were irritated with the Kindle formatting and unreadable chats.
It just boggled my mind!

That makes zero sense because there is code in the ePub to not display the text in the images.
I now have two versions. One that displays the graphic text and the other that displays the single column text. I've not yet started this.
