Title: Excellent book, unacceptable Kindle edition
Product review: I read the paper edition; it was very good. I'll not go into a review of it, plenty of others have, but as an authority of both the late Roman and late Barbarian periods, Heather brings many recently-revealed facts to light with superb analysis.I used the Kindle app on the iPad to re-read this. Implementation was very poor. The text is marred with randomly-distributed italicized and underlined passages. I can work around these annoyances, but what I cannot work with are the maps. Even when expanded, they are unreadable. The scans are very poor. This makes the book very nearly useless. I want my money back.
