Savannah monitor book, ebook and Kindle
 
Hello I was unable to attend to my website for some months and the links to our savannah monitor book were broken. It's fixed at
Mampam Conservation - The Truth about Varanus exanthematicus - now an ebook

Also I saw a bad review from a Kindle reader that I am worried about. I'd appreciate any feedback about this that I can use to improve the publication.

Thanks
Daniel

Was the bad review about the small print of the Kindle version?
That I saw but can't help sorry.

I'm not super techy but what format is the ebook in? If the print is showing up super small on a Kindle and there is no way to change it on the device, running the book file through a mobi converter can fix it. Or at least that worked for me once when I had the same problem with a book. I'm assuming it's the same problem, I haven't read the review.

I was first to purchase this from the ibooks app store on the iPhone last night. I can confirm the e-book is perfect! no problems found what so ever :)

What it's all about is the book was scanned and converted to PDF, however since it was scanned, each page is being handled as an image rather than a block of text. It should not be a big deal, but apparently kindle readers like text better than big images of text.

All I know is, I am quite happy with it, I store my hard copy in an envelope to keep dust off the cover, when I need to reference the book, I open the E-version.

I bought it on Amazon Kindle and the quality is really bad, even though I like the book alot. So I tried to buy it(the ebook) again here from this link in the forum, and it charged my paypal. but I never got the book, still...

Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the Kindle version. One reason it wasn't changed is that I have received no complaints about it, only internet "rumours", hence my inquiry here. Now I know the Kindle version is bad I will withdraw it from sale and try to make a better version. Thanks for letting me know
