Had a good blast myself last night - read 60 or so pages of 500 - I have mine set to slightly larger text - not because I have dodgy eyes, but this is the first book I have read on the ipad.
On my initial thoughts is that the book is simalar to the Ryan / McNab books of which I have read around half a dozen of each author. Ok so far. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'm entering the closing third, any one else picturing Mr Mackay, Fletcher, Harry Grout or other characters from Porridge at all? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
How are you finding reading on the iPad? Does it strain your eyes much?
I also can't believe your doing a book club, I thought the whole idea of these was so middle aged women could get out of the house once a week and drink with friends with no actual reading taking place data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
No it's so we can start arguments and fight about who's right when we discuss the book. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I think you'll find you're wrong about that data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I've still got to finish The Walking Dead (or at least get up to date) and the read the Civil War comics after that I may join you.
Anyone else reading this on the Kindle? There's a ridiculous amount of text where words are joined together and it seems to happen a lot on some pages, then the text is fine for a while until it happens again.
Really shoddy.
Yeah, I've noticed that, but it's balanced by the £0.49 price tag. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Yep joined words on Android Kindle too. That said, I'm finding it quite easy to read on my phone screen, quite impressed, I'd certainly read another book on it.
Its not bad at all so far.
Pages are set to the yellowy colour rather than white, and at around 50-60% brightness within iBooks. I enlarged the text as well by one notch and comfortably read 50pages last night while the missus watched Lilly Allen.
I have not seen any jumbled up text either yet.
Edit: I did see jumbled text a few times after this comment. NOt huge clumps, but three to five words then nothing for a chapter or twos' worth of pages.
As for the idea of the book club, it helps me get out of my Fantasy reading which is normally my choice of poison, this particular book is all about hard men doing hard time and hard crimes and as mentioned, it was 49p. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
If the next choice is something like 1000 broken Suns or whatever its called, or some tragic story of a man/woman growing up in terrible circumstances, I will revert back to my comics thank you very much. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Finished and now I feel like I have a homework assignment to do.
