BONSAI INSPIRATIONS: KINDLE EDITION for Kindles, PC's, IPhones, Ipads, Androids
Exactly 4 months after launching the printed version of Bonsai Inspirations, I am now proud to announce the Kindle Version
for Amazon's Kindle (as well as PC's, IPhones, Ipads, Androids running Amazon's free Kindle Previewer).
The Kindle version is the printed book in it's entirety, including just under 400 images and diagrams, for just US$13.05, GBP£8.04 or EUR9,19 (depending on your location) including delivery.
Please note that due to the restrictive nature of displaying images on Kindles, while still clear, all images are in black and white (greyscale) and display size is restricted. However this version still offers the opportunity for enthusiasts to sample the printed book before purchasing or indeed to own a cheaper if inferior version of it.
