    well i wouldn't imagine that it would be very good for photos. Its black and white and detail wouldn't be great at the screen is designed for just text.

    Youre much better off with the print edition then kindle for those kinda books.
    Kindle is low res B&W. You lose so much detail from the books pictures its really defeats the purpose

    I had one and it would be no good for viewing pictures, they really only work for reading, you would be better of getting a tablet of some description and looking at them on that.

    In the US, there's a Kindle with a colour screen. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051VVOB2/ref=famstripe_kf.

    Also, there's Kindle apps on iOS, Android, etc, some of which would have very good colour screens.

    So the answer to your question probably is that books like this aren't aimed at the B&W Kindles, but there's more to the Kindle than just those.

    I don't know about a kindle but I use a sony prs-t1 and its loaded with hundreds of books and notes on photography. I even put all my gear manuals on their so if I'm stuck I won't have to go lugging around a heap of books. It can store photos and the quality is pretty good though its black and white. I never used to read half as much until I bought it, now its been a life saver more than once. You can draw out notes and things too which is handy sometimes and the wifi's never let me down. Of all the gadgets I've bought in the last year or more that's been the most long lived and its helped out so many times in the field.

    This might give you an idea of the screen size for photos, its a book cover for the same printed book beside it.
