(Even better on my Kindle Paperwhite!) There are no pictures or fancy formatting to cause trouble.<br /><br />As to the content:<br /><br />As usual with Holiday it's a pleasure to read. He argues that lake monsters, fairies, Bigfoot, alien big cats etc are all the same kind of thing - either wholly paranormal or,if partly material, created or controlled by a paranormal mind. In any case they are not normal animals, because they don't leave enough traces and because, he says, they are surrounded by strange coincidences and other effects. He has some interesting anecdotes, in particular when, after observing the Rev. Ormand's exorcism of Nessie, he is attacked by something like a poltergeist. He also has a regrettable chapter trying and failing to disprove Darwinian evolution.David Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590531184544289491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-36045399015793984752016-10-09T13:48:22.385-07:002016-10-09T13:48:22.385-07:00Thanks for the tip on Goblin Universe on Kindle.

However, I am bit wary of some titles being retro-fitted to Kindle as the results have been unreadable on a smartphone (I think of some CFZ publications). <br /><br />If you do download it, can you tell me how readable it is David?

I've found the Great Orm 2nd hand for £4, but the Dragon book is £23 and I'm not sure I want to pay that.<br /><br />On the bright side, I've found I can read The Goblin Universe for free on Kindle Unlimited, and plan to do so.
