I don't want to use the categories above. It appears I had to check them to get to this form. They are neither useful to me nor relevant to why I purchased this book (or any other!).
Very excited to get this book on Kindle this morning. I have already read a substantial part of it. It is absolutely essentially for any student or fan of Tolkien's work and it looks to be a great additional to my library of Tolkien's work, etc. It is wonderful to have all of this material in one book.
SO SAD, however, that the illustrations are impossible for me to see on my Kindle-on-PC. They are very small and unzoomable and are already painted in a desaturated color scheme and with low contrast. Does everyone hate people with vision problems or simply discount them as a viable readership? I think that is a big mistake for Kindle. Yet it is always the case with Kindle Illustrations. I allowed myself to believe it might be different this time, since the illustrations are an important part of the book. Isn't there a way to give Kindle buyers a link to decent-sized illustrations at least? (A lot of people use Kindle because of poor eyesight. It’s not fair to not even try to make a concession.)
