ch 4 and 5 - not a troll
« on: September 22, 2020, 01:59:18 PM »

I wasn't trolling. If you go to the Kindle store using the Android app, there is a button that says download sample. The sample includes the first three chapters as well as chapter 4 and part of chapter 5. My screen grabs are too big to post here, and I don't have time to photoshop them smaller. But I will try to do it on my lunch break if people insist. I'm not sure why the thread was locked.

I don't see it in my android Kindle app, and I didn't pre-order it. Maybe it's been removed? I'm on a Samsung phone. OP, were you on a phone or a tablet? I suppose I'll go see if it works on my tablet now... :)

BATTLEGROUNDS IS OUT

By H.R. McMaster

I wonder if anyone has ordered the wrong book?

Somewhere out there is someone who is going to be very confused about receiving the second part of a novel of a long running urban fantasy series when they were expecting a weighty tome on US Foreign policy.

as someone else mentioned, I did not pre-order the book period so maybe let me download the sample?

Just fragments, a couple of paragraphs is all there is to see.

All of Chapter 4 is readable and a couple pages of chapter 5.  I just didn't screencap the whole pages because I thought it was against the rules here.

Perhaps your geolocation makes a difference as no one else can see it, including me. Are you using the kindle tablet?

It's a Google tablet, but definitely a tablet.  Pretty weird!

   Yeah, I get a huge black square in the middle of the page that says chapter four or five, and on either side a fragment of the first or last paragraphs of the chapter.  It also says that seventy percent of chapter four has been down loaded, but ninety percent of five, but none of that changes what I see on the screen.  I use an old desk top.

That would be wrong. You have to get it the hard way and read the complete chapter. And then suffer because you can not write about it.
