Review: Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback - So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback. Review: This history book won’t make you sleep - My brother-in-law is kind of hard to buy for, but I know that he’s a history buff, so I purchased this book. He loved it! If you have someone in your life that is difficult to buy for or just a history buff I highly recommend this book. It is great value easily understood and has beautiful pictures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #73,281 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #25 in Historical Study Reference (Kindle Store) #26 in Historical Study Reference (Books) #26 in History Encyclopedias | ## Images ![Smithsonian: Battles that Changed History (DK History Changers) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LJ5yPaTSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback *by C***L on March 21, 2024* So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle.
