I'll assume that you know and like Beatrix Potter's tales, and that you're mostly concerned about whether this is a good, functional set for your Kindle.I have an older black and white Kindle Touch and the formatting of freebies or of out-of-copyright compilations on that device can sometimes be a little dicey. Illustrations can be washed out or indecipherable. Not so here.First off, the collection is sent directly to your Kindle. There is no messing about with a download to your computer and then a transfer via USB cable to your device, which is a common process for a lot of Kindle freebie websites. So, actually getting the collection on to your Kindle is a breeze.The copy you get is clean and sharp, with no formatting errors. As represented, all Kindle functions, (like adjustment of type size), work well. If you increase the font size that does not effect the illustrations, which remain sized to fit the Kindle page. The bigger text just runs over into a second page if necessary.There is an active Table of Contents that allows you to move directly to the book you want. The "Go To" function also gives you an active Table of Contents.The free audiobook doesn't work because some older Kindles have no audio function and those that do have the experimental audio function that can't accept and open a zipped file.This does seem to be the most complete collection when compared to the other low cost collections, and it appears to be the only illustrated collection.So, if you want a quality, easily navigated, complete Potter set to travel with you on your Kindle I don't see how can beat this collection.Please note that I found this book while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
