A joy to read, and so light!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (Modern Library Classics) (Kindle Edition)
As I have a beautiful set of two volumes of Giorgio Vasari's "Lives," I was surprised and overjoyed to find this work in a Kindle edition! My hard-bound edition is about five inches thick and several pounds heavy, and the Kindle edition weighs nothing at all (the Kindle itself is only about 11 ozs.) Now, I can read every word of the "Lives" when I'm waiting on line somewhere, or waiting in a doctor's office, etc. It is a wonder that there are such great books available for the Kindle - all my favorites go with me wherever I go (which by now is about a hundred pounds of books) and they weigh nothing in my Kindle! Bravo, Amazon - this is another wonderful success!
