  • Glitching

    I bought this because I really wanted it. It’s very useful and exactly what I’m looking for.. however someone else posted a few years back that it had lots of glitches .. I assumed because it’s years later they fixed it or it was his phone and unfortunately it’s the book. It’s not made for digital.. it glitches every time you change a page. It’s very annoying!

    I bought this to have on my phone on iBooks. I’ve never had an issues with iBooks before but it seems this book was not properly formatted for iBooks. It’s very glitchy and it skips through pages. I’m sure the book is really good, if only you could access it the way it was purchased.
