Потребителски отзив - setnahkt - LibraryThingI prefer paper books, but the Kindle does have a pretty good screen, and you can read in the dark while walking home from Starbucks, and lots of copyright-expired books are available for free. Hence ... Прочетете пълната рецензия
LibraryThing Review
Потребителски отзив - CurrerBell - LibraryThingThis particular e-book edition (Delphi "Complete Works" for Kindle) is a real disappointment. I read Anne of Geierstein and it has typos in nearly every fifth paragraph or so. I'm surprised, because ... Прочетете пълната рецензия
