About this Book:
- Now available for the first time as an e-book!
- The cartoons in this e-book have been specially formatted for optimal viewing. The e-book will only work on color tablets and is not intended for viewing on desktop apps or black and white tablets.
- Calvin, the six-year-old dirty tricksmeister and master of indignation and his warm, cuddly philosopher sidekick and Hobbes, a tiger whose idea of adventure is to lie on his back by the fire and have his stomach rubbed. This unlikely due captured the hearts, the minds, and, most of all, the funny bones of America. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes contains an original full-color section, as well as all the cartoons appearing in The Revenge of the Baby-Sat and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink." All Sunday cartoons are presented in full-color.

it's better to have read an e-reader version of Moby Dick than to never have read Moby Dick at all.

You telling me you don't have an existing device that can use Kindle?
You know the device you used to type on as a reply to me. Pretty sure you're not a caveman.

"C&H is always fantastic and this book has some of the funnier strips. But the Kindle version is terrible. The strips are stretched out and distorted (at least on iPad) and rotated 90 degrees (and rotating the iPad doesn't help because then the image rotates too, you have to use the rotation lock)."

FYI, if you Facebook, C&H has a presence on there, along with a handful of fan pages that routinely post the old cartoons. Even 40 years later, they still put a smile on my face.

So I went to position 169, which is what your image shows and it's fine. It's also a different strip than what yours shows. Also, your iPad says the book has 0 pages. I think you might be having a device issue/account issue. The book works fine on my 12.9" and 14" iPad Pros and on my iPad mini 6.

I get that there something about holding and reading books, but digital is a good option too.
