That is really the only disadvantage to this Kindle version that I think is worth pointing out. The maps and illustrations are just barely readable on the displays of any of the black-and-white regular Kindle models, and even when viewed on a full sized color display (on my iMac, for example), they are small and somewhat blurred. I\’ve examined the formatting and functionality, and have found that they are well done Kindle editions with fully functioning table of contents and links. I\’ve re-visited them quite a few times over the years, and when the Kindle editions became available, and for a very reasonable price, I decided to grab them both. The stories are well known and timeless, and for anyone who has not yet enjoyed them in the written form, it is highly worthwhile (whether you are young or old, I might add). I\’ve enjoyed Tolkien\’s Hobbit and Lord of the Rings since first reading them in my teenage years. Review #3 Audiobook The Hobbit (The Hobbit) by J. I\’m really glad I have this as apart of my kindle library! It definitely held up to the paper back and kept the magic of Tolkien with little to no changes in the editing. The Kindle Version is JUST like the old tattered paper back I have in my bookshelf (I actually purchased the deluxe set to replace said tattered copy). There\’s really not much I can say here that hasn\’t already been said. You can tell who the different characters are by the subtle changes in his voice, yet he\’s not so drastically different that it\’s disorienting. The audible audio book has little to no frills and the narrator does a phenomenal job at keeping to the heart of the series. My favorite thing to do after a hard week is to put on the audio book and bake bread while I delve into words I\’ve practically memorized. I 100% recommend picking up the audiobook as well. I really adore the characters in this book and Bilbo will always have a place in my heart. I believe that Tolkien\’s talent lies in character, relationship and world building and that\’s what makes books go from GOOD to GREAT to AWESOME. While Tolkien is not my favorite writer by any means, this is my favorite novel of all times. I cannot tell you how many times I have read this book.
