Perhaps report the problem to amazon?  I'll go order it right now and see if I have the problem - of course, I don't have a Kindle but I have the APP on my iPad.

A book just became available to read from my library wish list so I will read that instead of Allegiant.

I have the app on my Android, but have yet to figure out how to use it.  I'll try it later, too.

I will have to check my goodreads account. I know I read whichever ones came out before Allegiant. But I think since they are about the story before Allegiant that they should have all come out before that book came out. Plus the last book was so controversial. I was sort done with the author.  I wonder if the ecopy of Allegiant is still really cheap. I have seen it cheap quite often.

You should definitely email amazom. I hate reading on my computer. Although if I had a laptop I might not care.

I bought the eBook - there's definitely something wrong with it, so don't buy just yet - I've written the publisher.  I knew something was wrong when it took five minutes to download.  All the print is small and in the middle of the page - my other books aren't like that, they take up the whole page and look just like the book - this looks like it's been miniaturized to the middle of the page.  I'll let you know what I hear back.

The eBook thing is truly baffling to me - it's just impossible to know if it's an amazon problem or what they were sent.  I asked the publisher to check THEIR copy on the Author House site - and to buy the amazon so they could see the problem.  It's readable if you zoom out and make it bigger but it ain't right.

DR Jennifer have you read the 2 Divergent short stories?

I just checked and I've read Free Four and The Transfer. But I won't read the other two.

DR Jane, i read Divergent 2 1/2 years ago. I wonder what rating I would give it now. I don't give very many 5 stars. At the time it was a new thing dystopia. And the book just surprised me. I think I have only given one book 5 stars so far this year (i'd have to check to be sure). Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

It may be time to take that visit to Peru I mentioned in my TOD today. Apparently, plenty of nude people have been spotted at Machu Pichu lately. What better reason to go?!

DR George yes the movie Divergent is based on a very popular book trilogy written by Veronica Roth. The books are YA dystopia. Check your library. I am sure they are hugely popular.  They explain a lot in the movie. So I think it will be easy for people to follow wo have not read the books.

I actually just looked and for "Divergent," we have 15 copies of the downloadable e-book and it has 95 holds (requests)!  I placed holds on the other two titles, but they don't have as many copies or requests.  I might get them before the first book. :-\
