Greetings,
I simply must correct the previous reviewer who may not know that tapping a picture on the Kindle Fire opens it in a new window which allows manipulation of the viewing size using the pinching and expanding technique of navigating a touch screen. The creators of this edition acknowledge that the resolution is not hi-res, but by tapping and expanding, one really does get to experience the awe of Audubon's genius. It's true that some of the orientation is "wrong." But expanding and then barely tilting one's head provides a more than satisfactory experience. The price of admission to this amazing gallery is totally worth it.

Poor formatting of Kindle edition - incorrect picture orientation.

I didn't expect much from this book. I bought it for the pictures. Unfortunately, many or most of the pictures are in the wrong orientation (sideways). Also, picture captions are so small you can hardly make them out. I don't recommend this book.

Labeling of the birds is too small and there is no real information about them in it. I will stick with my hard copy of the National Geographic's Birds of North America. I would gladly buy the kindle version of that.
