Poor quality typeset can't read it

I don't know start book this is but I can't even read the words it's such poor quality like it's a picture copy of the pages and if you try to zoom in the words are unreadable.

Poor Format

Poorly formatted, makes the book very hard to read and it becomes a chore to just get through the book.

illegible in kindle format

This e-book is totally illegible in kindle format and is therefore useless. Waste of money. I wish I could get a refund.

terrible on kindle

This is just a poorly scanned version of the book. The text is virtually illegible and the images are fuzzy. Don’t waste your money
