OK, let's be plain-spoken as Heinlein would've preferred.
The transfer is fine, as far as that goes. The problem is, it is "volume one". which was very much obscured on the page I bought it from.I thought it was the whole Expanded Universe _book_. And this _volume one_ includes most of his political stuff, not his stories. Look... maybe I agree with Heinlein in his political view and maybe I don't. In fact, it's some of both. But here is an example of _someone_ doing what Heinlein would have, probably, hated. Taking gross advantage of the reader. I never knew Mr. Heinlein. Except two fan letters, which he very generously responded to, I have no connection. Somebody out there is milking the cow, on this. If you advertise that this is the book "Expanded Universe", it needs to be that. This isn't. It's a very much abbreviated version, that doesn't include... well, everything that we Heinlein fans expect from an eBook of his named "Expanded Universe". We know what the original contained. And to be honest... maybe painfully so, to his family or whoever is rsponsible for this travesty... we never read Heinlein to get his political views. We read him to be entertained and educated on other topics. It doesn't make any difference if I, or anyone, personally, agree or disagree with his political views.This was sold as his stories. And it basically isn't. It's a lie perpetrated by whoever has control of this original work. To milk as much money as they can from the legacy. Expanded Universe should be an eBook, unto itself, and absolutely not broken down into parts. It was a REAL book unto itself, that Heinlein himself authorized. Breaking it down into "parts", or "volumes" is just milking the cow for more money. I don't think I've never given Heinlein a bad review, and I haven't still. I'm giving whoever the selfish cash-centic person who decided to release Expanded Universe this way a bad review.
