Summary: Not ready for publication as an e-book
Comment: This book would be a wonderful way to learn or improve one's spoken Italian if purchased in hard copy. As an e-book, however, it needs some work. This is more a short-coming of Kindle than the book itself--certainly not the author.
The main problem is that words and phrases listed to exemplify the subject in each chapter are barely legible. Written in tiny, italicized text, they do not enlarge as you change the font size on the Kindle page.
I like the approach to teaching Italian here, and I still expect to get something from this book--but I hope those who produced it in Kindle format correct this problem. Until they do, I can't recommend this version of an otherwise fine book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: excellent teach yourself book
Comment: I like this book very much. I am taking a beginning Italian class, but wanted some drill and vocabulary practice on the side. I highly recommend this book and have thought about purchasing others in the "Demystified" series.
