1.0 out of 5 stars no index, October 31, 2013
By 
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tyranny of the Weak: North Korea and the World, 1950-1992 (Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University) (Kindle Edition)
I thought this kindle edition would be the same as the original printed edition. However, finally I found that there is no index in the kindle edition. I even want to return the kindle edition book.

If there's no index you could always try reading the book from the beginning to end...and then you could review it too.

Please don't trash the book because of an issue you have with Amazon. Besides, the page numbers in an index will not match Kindle locations. Annoying, yes, but not a weakness in the scholarship.

Dgxf, this is not an appropriate review. (Kindle books do not usually have indexes.) Even if the kindle edition has no index, a serious academic book does not get 1 out of 5 stars for that reason.

Cynical Bob says:
Some commenters do not like this review because it points out a lack of an index, something that Kindle readers seem to think is unnecessary since page numbers would not match the Kindle text since it is scalable. Such complaints miss the point. An index could consist merely of hyperlinks to the appropriate place(s) in the text. That is an improvement, something the complainers did not consider. Amazon ought to include an index of this type.
