Good books not well converted,

This review is from: Crossword Lists & Crossword Solver: Over 100,000 potential solutions including technical terms, place names and compound expressions (Kindle Edition)
This title contains two books that would be easy to use in paperback editions but they are not well converted for use on the Kindle.
The Crossword Solver is a group of lists of words of a given length (two letters, three letters, up to 15 letter words) arranged alphabetically with a few extra lists: words containing Q not followed by U; words starting with X. Crossword Lists is a group of lists of words by subject, many with extra information (e.g. Countries of the World also includes Capitals and Currency information). These lists cover such a wide variety of different subjects that it acts a good reference book even if you don't do Crosswords. Now for the problems with this Title: This title has no ToC Guide item making navigation difficult. The Crossword Solver book also doesn't have any form of navigation other than paging through the book or jumping to location numbers and therefore requires the reader adding bookmarks to be useful. The Crossword Lists book does have a good linked index to each of the different lists but, as this is the second book and there is no link to the book from the beginning of the title, the reader still needs to add a bookmark to be able to use it effectively. Overall, I would recommend these books to crossword enthusiasts but they could be much better with a decent method of navigation.

This review is from: Crossword Lists & Crossword Solver: Over 100,000 Potential Solutions (Paperback)
It is a nice book but it has weird words that are too long to fit in a crossword. There are no definitions either. It isn't a good solver.
