"SPECIAL NOTE: For U.S. customers purchasing the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, you will notice the text has NOT been converted to the "Americanized" version of the original U.S. releases (with the exception of changing all "Philosopher's Stone" mentions to "Sorcerer's Stone"). Good or bad is naturally for each reader to decide--just know, if you plan to read the books while listening to Jim Dale's audiobooks, you'll notice a few superficial differences. The quality of this new illustrated edition is phenomenal. All chapter intros are illustrated."
"IMPORTANT: For U.S. customers purchasing the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you will notice the text has NOT been converted to the "Americanized" version of the original U.S. releases. This difference isn't as prominent or noticeable as it was with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, but still something to keep in mind. Also, to answer a question that has come up quite a bit, this is the FULL BOOK and not an abridged or shortened version. Underneath the book jacket, the novel is bound in a sturdy orange hardback with green lettering on the spine."
"I was ravenous to get my hands on my copy as soon as it was delivered this morning, but was quickly disappointed. But when I took a close look at my dust jacket, I was extremely upset to find that the gold foil lettering for "Harry Potter" had been rubbed away and destroyed completely in some places leaving ugly, black matte in its place-- pock marking the otherwise handsome gold lettering. Needless to say I'm in awe how Bloomsbury has managed to put together such an incredible project, with JK Rowling's remarkable literature and Jim Kay's otherworldly illustrations-- and allowed it to be put together in a low quality binding! Not all alone in a box... Update (October 9th): I have finally received my new book and it was in much, much better condition. The cover and spine were tight, intact and falling apart from the binding like my original copy."

"This is a great way to learn to read Japanese in a fun and interesting way."
"If this is any solace, it is worse with other Japanese books for Kindle (see samples from Akutagawa or Natsume Soseki) There is, however, a simple trick to enlarge the characters: change the orientation and make the long side of the device horizontal."
"I knew when I got the book that I couldn't alter the font, but I read it just fine on my kindle."
"All stories have 3 parts, one with the Japanese on top and a sort of dictionary of the words on the bottom of each page. Most of these Japanese reading books for beginners have the vocabulary on the bottom. I would put the difficulty level somewhere between the various children stories, and the other Japanese reader books."
"This was great practice for me while it lasted, but there are too few stories considering the price."
"All in all, this book is a great way to practice reading real Japanese rather than relying on dry reading passages, and the stories and the different forms (Japanese w/ English notes, Japanese only, and English only) they are presented in make it easy to read each story multiple times, which is great for language study."
"One of the main reasons I bought this book was because it was said to have furigana in the text."
"One thing that confused me though is that it says in several places that it has furigana next to all of the kanji but I couldn't find it anywhere."
