Raw Epicurean Beverages - 101 Fresh Organic Recipes (Kindle Edition)

This is a great recipe book (I hesitate to call it a cookbook because there's no cooking involved), but it doesn't work well on a Kindle. Recipe books are essentially reference books - you don't read them front to back then put them on the shelf, you flip back and forth through them. You look up what you want in the index and go directly to it. If there's a way to do that easily with the Kindle I don't know it. To make a recipe book work on a Kindle it needs to have a list of recipes at the beginning with a link to each one - scan through the recipes, scroll to the one you want, click and you're there. Add that to this book and I'll give it 4 stars.
