Hello


I bought this book on Kindle (for Android). It is a complete disappointment.

https://www.amazon.com/Last-British-Bat ... 726&sr=8-1

Not for the text, Burt is a very competent author, but for the resolution of the drawings. The photos are not very large, but most of the drawings are illegible due to the low resolution and quality.

I do not recommend the purchase. Even despite the lower price compared to the paper edition.

Has someone bought it?

I hope you complain to Amazon about this - it's quite unacceptable to have such low quality drawings when the Kindle edition costs *more* than the hardcover!

I have obtained the refund. But no explanation of the problem.

From the free samples, it seems that the books of the series "Detailed in the Plans of the Original Builders" have the drawings of low quality.

I am very interested in electronic books because I do not have space for paper books. This is a disappointment.

I expected something similar to Warships 2019. I bought directly from Osprey in pdf.

By the way, excellent as usual.
