Was happy to see them available on kindle. Was totally dissatisfied upon opening the kindle app to find that only the text on the title pages is great but the text of the actual tablature is unreadable. The tablature can not be affected by enlarging or clear text. It is very small print and when enlarged it just becomes more unreadable. I have a windows 8 operating system.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Knowledge at your armslength !By Martin CubauEverything is to like here.I use it as a reference source and learning tool.DTTD has great guitar sounds and this book is the key to unveil them. Otherwise; it would be near impossible for me due to the altered tunings that these sounds are achieved with and also lack of time.Ive been waiting for this book for quite a long time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
