Great Book, Terrible Transfer to Kindle,
By
This review is from: The Intrusion of Jimmy (1909) (Kindle Edition)
I love P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories, and this one is as good as they come. But whoever did the transfer to the Kindle format clearly just did an OCR scan and didn't bother to proofread the output. Every page (and for Kindle on iPhone, there's only about 100 words on a page) has errors, things like "He" turning into "I-Ie" or exclamation points turning into the letter I. Names are mangled, but not consistently, so you have to keep figuring out anew who they are talking about. The most frustrating part is that having an editor do even one read-through would have caught and cleaned up these errors, but apparently they didn't even do that. It's nearly unreadable, and definitely detracts from the simple and lighthearted joy of the text, because you have to work so hard to *understand* the text. My recommendation is that you read the book, but not this version. Wodehouse deserves better.
