Review: Formatting issues

I would have liked to email the author about this privately but could find no way to contact her (him?). The text seems to have been formatted to fit only a certain page width, with the result that when it is displayed on a smaller page, there are line breaks are all over the place where there shouldn't be any. This is very distracting. A preview of the book (by clicking on the cover to "Look inside") revealed this shortcoming, but the writing sounded interesting enough that I bought the book anyway. It doesn't look as bad on my iPhone screen, because the screen is small and the line width almost doubles up, but it's still distracting enough that I doubt I'll read the book until this is fixed. I hope the author will see my review and do something about this. After putting so much effort into the book, it would be a pity to lose readers over something like formatting; if this is fixed, once I get the updated copy I'll read the book and be happy to amend my review accordingly.
