Title: does this carry into the classroom?
Product review: The Things They Carried is one of my favorite books, and I was anxious to put it on my new Kindle to use in teaching freshman English. It's mostly terrific - I love being able to look up words in the dictionary on the spot when my students are troubled by a word, BUT... I have two major complaints. First, there are no page numbers on my Kindle version, which makes it hard to tell students what page to turn to. Second, my Kindle version of The Things appears to be slightly different than the version in the paperbooks my students bought through the college bookstore. Sometimes it's a word or two, and sometimes, alarmingly, it's a whole passage that's either worded differently, or missing, or added. What gives? Shouldn't a downloaded version of a book be exactly the same as a published version?And how come Kindle doesn't show page numbers? That seems to be a major design error.
