If it is in the Topaz format you can end up with a book in minutes too, but the quality will be that of an un-proof read OCR document. So unless I desperately want the book I avoid purchasing topaz formated books from Amazon.
Is there a way of finding out whether a book is Topaz or MOBI before buying it on Amazon?
