Customer Reviews
Great book
It is a memory intensive book. It chews up the RAM.
I had a iPad1, I had to stop all my apps runnning in the background. So with only 256MB of RAM , it is no wonder people were having problems.
I have the new iPad, the 1GB ram really helps. Looks and performs excellent.
The font type is great. Only drawback are the photos - they look a bit low-res under Retina Display.
Buggy
As Captain Cranky has noted. This book looks promising but crashes your iBooks app. You need to fully shut down the iBooks app (possibly several times) to escape the grey screen of doom.
This is great
First review!
This book is great and definately worth the price.
Good for kids to study, grownups who just want to read, or artists (like me) looking for some source material.
