Why would one read reviews of books that you do not know the author, title or publisher of? If this information was provided as it is in the print version of TLS I would be a subscriber! Sometimes I wonder if anyone at Amazon ever looks at what they put in the kindle store before they release it……..

I have been enjoying the Kindle version of the TLS, but I share the other reviewer’s dismay over the lack of any indication of the titles of books under review. Can it really be that hard to include these??

While the TLS may be a great print publication, the Kindle version is so full of text conversion errors that I found it too distracting to read. After two issues, I cancelled my subscription.
The errors, often three to four per page, appear to be due to poor handling of words that were hyphenated at the end of lines in the source text fed to the conversion software is used to produce the Kindle formatted version. Words have dropped letters and are concatenated with the following words making them a bit of a puzzle to decipher. It’s obvious that there is little, or no proofreading of the Kindle version.
Sadly, this is hardly the exception with e-publications. Nearly every book I read with the Kindle is riddled with OCR, or text conversion errors. It’s as if nobody cares about the quality of electronic versions.
