Review: formatting problem for Kindle Paperwhite
Rating: 4 out of 5

With the piles of great reviews, I only want to raise a small voice of complaint...whoever did the conversion to Kindle format made the same mistakes that many others have made and produced a final file that does not work well on Kindle Paperwhite. The text is all there, but it cannot be changed among the 6 different fonts that should be available. In describing how to prepare a file, Kindle oversimplified the instructions. It is necessary to manually strip out from the html file all references to font names if the final mobi format is to allow the choices on the Paperwhite. I think the Kindle Previewer would show if this is not the case, so someone was sloppy in file preparation.Perhaps a 3-star rating is harsh, but Kindle makes a big deal about "reading experience" and that flaw spoils it for one who prefers reading serif fonts in books.PS. Having completed the book despite the formatting issue, I do have to say that it was quite amusing and full of ironic incidents that obviously came from the author's personal experiences. It had both a romantic and a mysterious thread to carry the reader through, ended well, and showed a sensitivity to the foibles of others and underlying Christian commitment that lifted it above a simple parody of church mechanics. (and I raised my rating to 4 stars)
