It's legible, however, it is annoying. I guess I have tow questions:
  • Is it possible to reformat the book for left justification using Calibre or something? I couldn't do it through the nook interface.
  • Is it worth following up with B&N? The fact that this book costs $19.95US adds insult to the injury. However, I do realize most business books are more expensive.

I just downloaded the book from the B&N web site and expected an epub file. However, it has the .pdb extension. Could that have anything to do with it?
If you download the book using the PC B&N reader you should get the epub version. Perhaps that one is better formatted?
