KINDLE EDITION:
The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of European Birds: An Essential Guide To Birds Of Europe (Mobi Reference):
I have been trying to find a review of this e-publication.
Does anyone have any thoughts or practical experience of it?
Thanks

I thought I recognised the title. While searching for an app for my Android phone, I chanced upon the Encyclopedia of European Birds by MobileReference, available for £6.31. It rates only 1 star out of 5 and the only review, posted by Sue says "This is the only app I have experienced where it has taken my money and not downloaded at all, yet still refused a refund. Buyer beware!"

I decided to avoid it after reading that. I would recommend caution, I think.
