Kindle Sheet Music

Thought some of you might find [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Easy-Classical-Double-Solos-ebook/dp/B005ZU150E/ref=sr_1_5?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1330427237&sr=1-5"]this[/url] useful

I was seduced by the scroll on the front cover, but the pieces make useful fingering exercises although the numbering is on the small size.

I've printed a couple out and may overwrite the tiny numbers.

If you haven't got Kindle you can dowload it for free for Mac, P.C iPhone etc

Looks interesting. Thanks!
I haven't got a Kindle but will try the PC verson.

Thanks Mr B!

I got Jerry Coker's Improvising Jazz for Kindle and found the musical notation too small to be useful. (And anything beyond the first few pages too difficult!) I've just downloaded the PC version for Kindle and although it's better, there is no way of making the notation larger. You can change the font size and make the text bigger, but not the music. I'm tempted by this bass solo book but not if it has the same problem. I had a look at the sample but it doesn't have any music, only words. Can anyone help?

Does control + not zoom in?

I need reading glasses ...

If the notation is set as a graphic, as opposed to treated like text, you might not be able to enlarge it without losing crispness.

[Mr Bassman]

The notation is fine, it's the tiny numbers they have used for fingering

Blimey - you're right.

[Mr Bassman]

I like the concept of this but I think Amazon should know that their scan resolution needs to be higher.

I've printed off a couple of sheets and I need a magnifying glass to read the fingering, and thats with my reading glasses!

I wonder if I can get a refund

Do you have the PC version linky? I too may be "seduced by the scroll"

[Mr Bassman]

I may have misled some peeps here.

The Kindle App is available as a free download for P.C. / Mac etc. and there are some books available for free download, but the book in question "Easy Classical Double Bass Solos" costs £3.86 to download.

Sorry folks

You didn't mislead us - your original link took to the Amazon entry for the book and the price was stated clearly. I mean, it's not like it's very expensive...
