Don Roberto Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The title is self-explanatory, but anyway. I know this book will feature many illustrations and maps, but is there a kindle version being planned, with just text and perhaps a few of the simpler illustrations, like crests and banners?

Ran Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, I'm sure you can buy a Kindle edition, but I'm not sure how it will look on an E-ink kindle device. How does the kindle usually handle books with full color illustrations and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Roberto Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Depends on the illustration. Kindles display 16 shades of grey, so images in a wide range of colours and lighting display well, but images on a single colour palett or with low contrast can get confusing.The illustrations look fantastic, but what really interests me is the text, so I wouldn't mind too much getting a kindle version even if some illustrations become somewhat poor. I just want to know if there will be a kindle option at all, for importing a physical book would be too onerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clariana Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 What about Kindle Fire? Graphic novels look great on that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Though I suppose it's better to have this kind of book printed, for obvious reasons, a kindle edition isn't a bad idea. When you buy a kindle book you're not limited to the e-ink device, you can read the books on your computer, tablet etc. So you can read the text in your kindle and check images and whatnot in high resolution on a big, full HD screen. And if you just can't wait to get your hands on it, you don't have to wait for delivery (I live in Brazil so it would take some time to get here, also postal costs are expensive). But yes. I own the novels in kindle format, but this one I'll probably buy the regular version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Spark of House Spark Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Depends on the illustration. Kindles display 16 shades of grey. I know someone whose Kindle has 50 shades of grey on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crow's Third Eye Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I know someone whose Kindle has 50 shades of grey on it I see what you did there *applause* I have a Kobo e-reader which functions like a plain book in that I can read it in sunlight. The maps included in the front of ASoIaF books are pretty good but if I was to buy the World book I would probably by a hard copy so I can see the maps etc full size.

Panther2000 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I pre ordered mine for my HDX Kindle back in March. However, I do plan on ordering the Hard copy just to go along with my set of books. I will say that Actual pull size pictures of these maps you just have to have in life size.
