An entire line of the music was missing the staff lines; all chords were handwritten and some were not legible in the small print; and I found no way to make the music or text larger in either the PC Kindle or Kindle interface so the lyrics remained illegible.Also. perhaps unrelated to the product. this item kept delivering the sample version to both my PC Kindle and Kindle at first.
