REVIEW

5 stars for Rainbow Rowell, love her writing and these stories are wonderful and absorbing (never been a fan of Simon Snow but I knew there would be a Simon/Baz story in here and it's not bad). Zero stars for the kindle version. First problem, the type is FAINT. No amount of fiddling with the font/contrast/backlight makes it darker. It's difficult to read. Even worse the story "Mixed Messages" is faint and TINY. I get that it's a text exchange but it only takes up part of the kindle screen and even when I use the zoom in function (which is a pain to re-do every time you turn the page) it's still hard to read and it cuts off some of the bottom and top lines of text. UGH. This is my favorite story, I love Jennifer/Beth/Lincoln. Can't read it! I'm going to have to buy the paperback. I want to return this awful Kindle version but I pre-ordered this back in May so obviously the 7 day return window is past (that shouldn't apply for preorders, but whatever).
