    It is difficult to read in IPhone.
  • Great story, lousy ebook

    This is a terrific book, full of interesting stories and very well written. I enjoy history, railroads, and New York City, and this book has plenty of all three. Mr. Roberts is a good storyteller and has made this fun to read. But what the heck kind of ebook is this? It's more like reading a PDF than what I've come to expect from iBooks, and I'm quite disappointed. You can't turn pages like other books; they seem to be formatted side by side, and presented as single pages. When you try to turn the page, it skips ahead then back, and sometimes takes a few tries. This is distracting, and takes my attention away from what I'm reading. One of the reasons I prefer the iPad for reading is because my eyes are getting weak with age, and I can adjust the font size if I start to get fatigued. But the font size is absolutely fixed, making this impossible. This makes it hell for anybody with a disability. They should have made it clear. I read the preview before purchasing, and thought perhaps only the first part would be this way, because it had so many beautiful pictures. I'll probably have to buy the print edition to finish this, since it is so difficult to read the small typeface. I'm very disappointed, since all my other experiences with Apple books have been so positive. I hope this is an anomaly.
