As a book for the Kindle. not so much.I have seen other reviews of books in this series. criticizing the size. the format. etc. Personally. I like these books; I like the smaller size and the chords and lyrics only format of the songs. I own a copy of the paperback edition of this book. So I thought I would get the Kindle edition in order to have a copy on my Kindle for easy access to a bunch of songs to play and learn. I was so disappointed I returned it for a refund.It is not the size that is the problem. I have a Kindle Fire HD and it displays the pages large enough to see easily. No. it is just that this looks like a sloppy scan of a book that was thrown together just to try to cash in on the ebook market. The cover looks fine. but the title page literally is a black and white scan of the title page of the book with the cover torn off. The reader can see the torn page in the image; they didnt even edit it to make it look better. After that. the pages look like they were hastily scanned from an old. dogeared copy some one left in Hal Leonards bathroom. The scans arent clean. they look like 3rd or 4th generation photocopies with marks and spots etc. on every page. They arent even lined up properly and in more than one instance lines of text are cut off. obscuring the lyrics and chords of the songs themselves. I understand that a Kindle book is basically just a scan of a physical book. but one would expect the publisher to at least start with a decent copy with clean pages.Bottom line: This is a good book in paperback format. otherwise save your money.18 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Great collectionBy A. TrioloI think this is a great collection of songs in a great format. I disagree with the previous reviewer who preferred the larger format. standard sheet music sized books. I think the 6x9 inch size (which is even stated in the items title) is great for throwing in a gig bag and carrying around. Granted. the glued binding makes it harder to keep open than some other formats. but with a little bending. it stays open just fine.After years of transcribing songs myself. or getting inaccurate versions off of the internet and carrying around a big binder full of printouts. I found that this collection of Hal Leonard chord songbooks in small format is perfect for me.If you like having the lyrics and accurate chord transcriptions (this is not note-for-note transcription. but chords only) in a portable format to bring to gigs or parties. then this book and the others in this series are for you.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Kindle on iPad is sharp.By K. MorrisIve read several reviews of this series about the kindle version being blurry or looking like a scan. This is not the case on my iPad. It is just fine. Sharp with no issues. I own three books in this series. Other Hal Lenard books do look blurry or scanned... but I have not seen that for this series.
