The people who designed Amazon's Kinde-to-Print self-publishing process don't know much about print, do they?

Here I am attempting to read a book that I just got in the mail and the margins on the spine side are so tiny that the first character in a line is barely visible and the margins on the outer side are good 2.5-3 cm.

I'm not sure if they've even seen a book before.

One more proof that technical skills and product knowledge are not only undervalued but simply not valued at all on the job market in comparison to obedience.

@alda They forgot to add "twoside" to their LaTeX documentclass options. :blobcatreading:

@joakimfors Aren't most e-book formats XHTML based?

@alda As I like to say, there's obedience, loyalty and competence. You can only have two.

If forced to make a choice, they will never pick competence.
