Query: Paperback has some advantages over Kindle Edition

I can hardly add to the more scholarly reviews written about the Silmarillion, so I'll just leave my opinion of the Kindle edition version of the book. Of course, the story is neither embellished nor diminished in its electronic publication, however the paperback version has at least one advantage over the Kindle edition. I am a big fan of the maps that Tolkien included in his books, especially in the Silmarillion, as it helps me to visualize the world he created. When I read the paperback version originally, I found myself referencing the maps, and the genealogical tables rather frequently as the names of places and cast of characters is rather expansive. This task is more cumbersome with the Kindle edition, but not impossible. I would recommend reading the paperback version of the story first, and then deciding if the Kindle edition is worth the $10. Also, the auto-reader function really struggles the pronunciation of Tolkien's writings, as do I.
