Michael, thanks for pointing out the Bob Porter Soul Jazz book.  I've been meaning to pick that one up.

The "Sittin' In" book on Kindle? What a waste of presentation and format ... (regardless of how cheap that ebook version is). I can only imagine this will trigger some into getting the "real thing".

If you have an iPad, try downloading the Kindle app and reading it on there.  The graphics should look far better there, unless they’ve downgraded the graphics for Kindle use.

All too involved for a book like this IMO, particularly if you care about the photos for permanent and TANGIBLE reference. Would it be possible to EASILY print out Kindle contents page by page by now? Besides, do you actually OWN a Kindle ebook forever and ever?
Too many snags, really ... (Or should I say "Emperor's Clothes"? )

I also have the Kindle app on my iMac.  I could open the book in it and easily copy and paste contents.

It's just an additional way of doing things.  I'll also point out that the eBook is $2.99 during this sale, while the hardcover is $26.98.
