Great book with Kindle formatting issues.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I own most every year of this series and look forward to each new issue. 2008 was the first issue I read on my Kindle. Every now and then a book isn't ideal on the Kindle. This one has a story entitled "Six-Word Reviews of 763 SXSW Mp3s.. ". I go to SXSW every year and really looked forward to reading this article. It is unreadable, period. The printed book had tables, formatted horizontally, of reviews which look like they were scanned into the Kindle edition. They are virtually unreadable and when you turn the Kindle to read them, it rotates the page to horizontal mode, compressing them and again orienting them away from the reader. Argh! Totally frustrating and totally useless. If you don't mind skipping this story (which I am still P.O.'ed enough about to write this review!), then it's a great collection (again), so go ahead and get the Kindle edition.
