AGBKindle-specific 01/13/2009
This is a Kindle-specific review by AGB. A cracking bargain set from Samizdat - exactly what it says, all 16 of Dickens's novels (no Short Stories etc - but I prefer this somewhat shorter file to a total, everything-in-one format). Overall index at opening with links to the start of each of the novels. Layout of the contents is neatly done (though the Dickens-written tables of contents at the start of each novel have a few minor layout problems at all font sizes). The double space between paragraphs can look a little odd at large font sizes but, equally, is very easy on the eye at the small sizes). Metadata - a complaint and a quibble here. Complaint: Author indexes under "C" for Charles not "D" for Dickens - this can be fixed at home via Mobi2Mobi (3rd party software), but shouldn't be wrong in the first place. (Although Kindle displays names in the format "Charles Dickens" it requires the metadata to present as "Dickens, Charles" to get the correct indexing). Quibble - the Title metadata "Classic British Fiction: All 16...." etc is, in my view, awkward on the Kindle, especially if you sort by Title. Via Mobi2Mobi I altered this to "Dickens: All 16 Novels (Classic British Fiction Series)". Makes it easier to find quickly, especially if you have others in the Samizdat "CBF" series. All in all, a great set at an unmissable price.
