Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, book 1

Douglas Adams

1 Breaking this into two books makes this more expensive
I'm assuming that books one and two in the Adobe version together make The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But for the price of those two ebooks (about 11 $) you can buy the paperback and pocket 5, or you can buy the book and all its sequels for a few dollars more (The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).

I very much liked this book, but another edition would be more cost effective.

2 Poor Quality
The translation to Ebook was very pitfully done. The graphic quality is so bad, as to be almost just a blur of color. Too bad, they could have done such a good job with it.

It's hard to think of you as the end result of millions of years of evolution.

"I got into an elevator at work and this man followed in after me... I
pushed '1' and he just stood there... I said 'Hi, where you going?' He
said, 'Phoenix.' So I pushed Phoenix. A few seconds later the doors
opened, two tumbleweeds blew in... we were in downtown Phoenix. I looked
at him and said 'You know, you're the kind of guy I want to hang around
with.' We got into his car and drove out to his shack in the desert.
Then the phone rang. He said 'You get it.' I picked it up and said
'Hello?'... the other side said 'Is this Steven Wright?'... I said 'Yes...'
The guy said 'Hi, I'm Mr. Jones, the student loan director from your bank...
It seems you have missed your last 17 payments, and the university you
attended said that they received none of the $17,000 we loaned you... we
would just like to know what happened to the money?' I said, 'Mr. Jones,
I'll give it to you straight. I gave all of the money to my friend Slick,
and with it he built a nuclear weapon... and I would appreciate it if you never
called me again."
