NOTES ABOUT PRICES
The Spanish retail
price for paper books is registered with the ISBN for each book; prices
in other countries are by arrangement with the publisher. Prices of
paper books sold by Amazon differ between sites because of exchange
rate fluctuations, Amazon's discounting
policy, and varying tax rates in different countries.
For Kindle editions,
Lavengro Books sets a price for amazon.es. Amazon keeps this same sale price
for all eurozone sites and converts it automatically for currencies used on
other sites.
TECHNICAL NOTES FOR KINDLE
EDITIONS
Horse or Mackerel is
published as a normal Kindle mobi file.
The Kindle editions of
A Guide to English Language Usage,
Pearls of the English Language and Great English Mistakes have been
prepared using Kindle Text Book Creator.
* Amazon describes them as
replica or facsimile editions, but in fact they are completely
separate presentations of the text, optimised for electronic viewing.
* The requirements for
preparation, maintaining the format and phonetic symbols, mean that they are
prepared from pdf files and are displayed page by page. They cannot be
viewed on Kindle e-ink devices such as Paperwhite and cannot be
downloaded to these devices.
* They can be viewed on
Kindle Fire, Android and Apple devices.
* The books contain hyperlinks
for cross references. These do not function on Apple devices. This is
apparently Apple’s decision. It has nothing to do with Lavengro Books or, it
seems, with Amazon.
* The hyperlinks appear with strong orange underlining that may or may
not include the spaces before and after the words. This is not a bug, but a
feature of which Amazon is proud. It cannot be removed without disabling the
hyperlink.
* Lavengro Books is an honest
and transparent publisher. We wish to have these technical limitations made
clear to potential purchasers. However, the availability and
functionality of Kindle editions on different devices is entirely a matter
for Amazon. Lavengro Books has no liability for the accuracy of this
information, which is provided for information purposes only.
