First off, I want to say that I'm thrilled that they decided to put out an epub version of the book. I love epub books. The format is very versatile and minimal, perfect for viewing on almost any device at the table. That said, I think a bit more care should have been put into creating this one.

This review is only for the epub version of the book. I have a NOOK HD+ and I loaded this epub onto it to use at the table while playing. I loaded the book on and started to scroll through the book to preview what was in it. The book seemed to have all the material I'd seen in my friend's physical book, but I was baffled why they didn't include any stats for the monsters in it. And then, I realized they did, but my NOOK was only showing about half the stat block.

I opened the book in Calibre and saw that all the stat blocks are included and showing up completely in Calibre, but for some reason, not on my NOOK. Wondering what was happening, I decided to open up the epub file and take a look at the files to figure out what was going on.

The tag soup I found is a mess, but seems to work so I don't think that's a reason to rate this product low. What is a reason is that there are TABLE tags used for the stat blocks. It's the TABLE tags that are preventing the text in the stat blocks to be visible on my NOOK since they prevent the reflowing of the text. I am in the process of replacing all the TABLE tags with DIV tags in the file in the hopes that will allow me to use this product as I want to use it. All the information I want seems to be there, but it's really inaccessible on my NOOK at this time.

Thanks for letting us know. I\'ve passed it along.

Our eBook specialist says he\'s going to just go ahead and re-do both books (we\'ll update them here so everyone who\'s previously purchased will get the updates) without tables. That\'s a lot of work, so it\'s a few months out, but wanted to let you know. Thanks again.
