The Publisher is Incompetent

This book is a “choose-your-own-adventure”-style book. It’s well-written, funny, and entertaining, but the e-book publishers made it completely impossible to read. Since it is a choose-your-own-adventure, every few pages the reader is given an option like “to go through the trap door turn to page 20. To climb up the ladder go to page 65.” The problem is that ebooks don’t have page numbers that correspond to a specific place in the text. The amount of text on any given page changes based on the size of the e-reader screen and the text size settings, so there is no way to know where “page 20” is supposed to begin! They could have fixed this by inserting numbered page breaks or by adding hyperlinks in the appropriate places, but they made no attempt to do so, making this book impossible to read. Very disappointing.
