Kindle Fire enables nonfiction e-books

摘要

After I bought a Kindle, I could throw an entire library in my backpack and read anywhere, anytime, and anything from my Kindle account —anything, that is, except for books with tables, books with graphics, books with equations, and books with photos. It turns out that publishers of nonfiction don't format their books with e-books in mind, and anything that is not text can show up in a weird format. It doesn't have to be that way, but print publishers don't care what it looks like on a Kindle. So the old Kindle is great for reading books that are all text, which is 99% of fiction, and lots of nonfiction, such as Michael Lewis' Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.
