3.0 out of 5 stars Not again until real page #'s are added, March 15, 2011

This review is from: Sociology: The Essentials, 6th Edition (Kindle Edition)

It is very convenient to be able to have heavy book text in a lightweight reader. It is very inconvenient to have purchased a textbook for my Kindle that I can't follow page numbers on especially in the middle of class and my professor says "Go to page..." and then I just have to flip or do a word search for the section in order to get there and be able to follow along. I will not be purchasing another textbook for my kindle if it doesn't have the real page numbers, even if it means multiple pages on the Kindle having the same page number as the text. There are also a few places where the text is smashed together.

This review is from: Sociology: The Essentials (Paperback)

The book is very expensive for a paperback,information is mixed up and terms are not bold print or examples of the word are shown.This is not a great book where you need to find out information because its just not there.Locating words from index and finding them is a hassle because it might be on another page you have to read it word for word.
