Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all let me say that "The Alexandria Quartet" was one of the most moving books I've ever read, when I read it years ago, and so I was looking forward to putting it on my Kindle to have it to read over what is promising to be a really hot summer here in Chicago (this book really reads well during hot weather, I think). Here's the problem. In the first page or three of the actual book, Durrell throws in a note. It is marked with an asterisk, and you have to turn to about the last page of the book to read the note. On the next page, Durrell does the same thing, an asterisk, and off you go to the back of the book again. There are around ten such notes in the first book "Justine". They are all on a page of notes and referenced by the page number on which the asterisk occurs. This is not a great way to do footnotes (end notes, really) but it works if there aren't a lot of them. However, whoever created this Kindle edition didn't make the footnotes active. DOH! AND there is no active table of contents. DOH! again! That means the reader is going to have to figure out by trial and error where the notes occur. Now, if you have bought each book seperately. This is a minor hassle (although I would argue there shouldn't be ANY hassle when you are paying full price for a Kindle book). You just use the menu to "go to the end" and then page backward until you hit the notes. BUT, if you have bought the one volume edition, does this approach still work? Or do you have to hunt for the one quarter mark of the whole thing and then hunt around some more to find the end of Justine, and then hunt around some more for the notes page? No way do I have time and patience for that. It may just be me, but it seems to me that if a publisher is going to charge almost $14.00 for a Kindle edition, they ought to make the table of contents active AND make the notes active. There is simply no excuse for not doing at least the latter thing. So, sadly, I have returned this (citing quality issues) and will simply read the quartet in paperback next time. Too bad!
