Would you like to report poor quality or formatting in this book? So, why do I only give 3 stars out of five? Most recent customer reviews. Well, I imagine all the complaints about the pictures from the other users are probably people who are using an actual Kindle to read this book. Anyway, if the author writes another book, and IF he addresses said issues in that book I'd consider buying it. Not Enabled Screen Reader:

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. It's overall not a bad book. Each article gives a short but informative review of each car, enough to give a base feel of what each car is like. So, why do I only give 3 stars out of five? But having one would be handy also. To be honest, they aren't.
They look like they were either a photocopies of a color print or b black and white printings of a color image. Either way, I have to agree with another person when I say it would almost be better if there were no photos. About the only thing the photos do for me is make me want to look up a color high quality image, not the low quality black and white.
As an aside I'm not knocking black and white images, if they were of good quality that would be fine. But they aren't, the cover image is MUCH better then the ones found inside. Anyway, if the author writes another book, and IF he addresses said issues in that book I'd consider buying it. But if he doesn't, I'd truly have to think on that. I don't feel ripped off, but I don't feel like the book was a bargain even at the current price either.

Well, I imagine all the complaints about the pictures from the other users are probably people who are using an actual Kindle to read this book. They were extremely vivid color, high resolution, and very sharp. That's only the price of 2 Kindles. The book itself is put together very nicely. Images, writing, specs, it's all there and is really great. It's overall not a bad book.

Navigating for me was a piece of cake as the Kindle App for HP WebOS has the scroll bar accessible at the bottom of the screen when you want it and the cars are all in alphabetical order. It has been an absolute breeze to scroll to whichever car I wanted to read about first; whether it was on page 2 or page 3, that's how many "locations" my app splits it out to via scroll bar, there aren't actually that many pages; comes out to "print-pages" per the description. All that being said, it'd be nice to know about these differences before purchasing.
If I had my heart dead-set on pictures, I probably wouldn't have bought this book based on the reviews saying how bad they are. Imagine my surprise when they were that good. Haven't read the whole thing as I just bought it, but so far the writing and specs are dead on. The only reason I gave this three stars is because it's difficult to read on the Kindle.
There's no working table of contents, which is frustrating for a book like this where you want to jump around from car to car rather then reading the entire book sequentially. Not a bad book if you like reading, however it is easier to use the internet to do your research about latest car models. But if you are book reader this makes a great coffee table book. There is a lot of great information, but the pictures could not be worse.
I think showing NO pictures would have been better than seeing the awful pictures that were included. I'm not too surprised that someone would think the book is great on the Kindle.
