So yesterday, I bought a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany’s on apple books to read at work on my lunch break. It was okay, but when I went to find the page count to record it in my reading journal, I noticed that the text is completely different from my penguin classics edition. The Apple Books version is shortened, and is just a crappy abridgement of the original. Now I’m pissed off, because I paid for the digital version and it didn’t say anywhere that it wasn’t the original text. It even used the penguin paperback edition cover art! Is there any way to report this kind of stuff?
n an amusing twist, an attempt to distill “The Old Man and the Sea” into a more concise version backfired spectacularly, resulting in the accidental addition of ten pages. This endeavor, aimed at simplicity, ironically expanded Hemingway’s laconic masterpiece, adding a new layer of complexity to an already profound narrative.
