After I downloaded this huge file on my Kindle Fire HD, I was dismayed because all I saw was the illustrations. I couldn't figure out if that was all I was supposed to see or not...you know because the listing says Illustrated Series. I began to wonder if the story wasn't included.  For some reason, I decided to check my Fire HD settings & chose Sepia instead of Black...voila! the story showed up in black text along with the illustrations.  Apparently, Doma Publishing House needs to do some formatting for this issue on the Fire HD.I decided to check the Kindle App on my IPod Touch & was surprised to find that the Black setting worked. The story changed to white text like it usually does.I browsedWizard of Oz Illustrated Series: 15 Books, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Marvelous Land, Dorothy and the Wizard, Road to Oz, Emerald City, Ozma of Oz, Patchwork Girl, Glinda of Oz MORE!right after I downloaded it to my Fire HD, but didn't have time to write a review. The only problem at that time that I encountered was the Black setting. Now that I'm taking the time to review it, I decided to click on one of the chapters near the end of the book. I chose 'Glinda of Oz' and found that the book on my Kindle Fire HD repeatedly froze. So I decided to use my IPod Touch 4G to see if I could access the chapter. Everything worked fine. I suspect that the large file size is causing  problems with Amazon Kindle on my Fire HD. I will need to remove some books before I can continue to read this series.If you are using a Kindle Fire HD with your setting on Black and can't see the text, change the setting to White or Sepia. Also, if this book causes Amazon Kindle on your Fire HD to freeze, I suspect it's because of the large file size & you will need to remove some books so you have enough room for this one.Other than the 'Black' setting issue on the Kindle Fire HD, the formatting is great. Links are provided for chapters, navigating through the books & chapters is seamless, & illustrations can be enlarged by double tapping on them.The publisher supplied a copy for an honest review.
