I keep asking myself, how the quality of the ebooks is, which you buy regular in a store in the States or whereever.

Ebooks are very new over here in Germany. They started in the March. I bought so far 2 books in a German bookstore and both books don'T meet my expectations.

They have no cover picture, there is no correct directory only figures from 1-10, the linking is awefull and quite a lot of other complains.

Is that the same over there. So far I bought one book from the Sonystore and that was perfect. Cover picture, nice layout, good directory and well working linking to the chapters.

It realy makes me very mad. I mean over here the price for an ebook is the same as for the printed version, so I think I can expect the same quality. Obviously not.

What are your experiences?

Thanks
