Not really a kindle book

This book is fairly short, and the pages are not really optimised for kindle, so its almost impossible to read it. It looks like they’ve taken the digital version of a hardback book (with tiny writing) and just chopped it up into pages. Very difficult to read, but once I had read it, I realised it was at best a very average book with very little beyond the basics
