I wasn't expecting this to be a book written in broad American dialect. Made it difficult to read at times, and an awful lot of it isn't about Maggie at all... what there is of it.

Kindle Keyboard, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display by Amazon
4.0 out of 5 stars Love kindle, 3 Nov 2010
Very easy to read... after a few pages you forget it's any different to a real book. Most of the free books available are a bit vintage, never mind 'classic' but the prices are good... Once you get over the wanting to have a paper version you can see... and have... and collect. Once you get over that, it's a super developement. One my mother might even go for! Ideal for her visit over seas, with as many books as she likes tucked away. I just wish a nice protective cover wasn't so expensive.
