darchildreWhile I have frustrations with the industry* and general reservations about amazon, I sincerely love ebooks (which are linked to amazon for me because most of mine are kindle books). I like how easy they are to use, I like that I can adjust the font to be whatever I need, I like that I can write notes without feeling guilty, I like that I can carry one device and have dozens to hundreds of books at my fingertips, I like that I never have to carry around a book version of the complete Sherlock Holmes every again.
However.
I am constantly frustrated by the fact that amazon seems to think that all readers want to start each kindle book on page one, rather than the cover. Every time I start a book, I have to page backwards to make sure I haven't missed something. Often, it's just the epigraph or dedication but for gods' sake, I am a fantasy reader! There might have been a list of characters or a map! Why would you think I didn't want to see the map?
It's very annoying.
*I work in a library, you guys.
