There are an awful lot of pale images in this guide with the colours in negative.
Was this a conscious decision or has something happened because it looks pretty bad - lots of sponsor’s products are shown with the colours reversed and with pale, “ghost like” images.
We don’t do Halloween down here in Aus so maybe it’s a part of that but it looks pretty dodgy.

We have only seen the the inverted photo issue in Mac OS X Preview. We are exporting a new version. Everything looks good in Adobe Acrobat 6 or above.

Wow!! This is a great guide! I’ve been a member of the iLounge community for years and had no idea how diverse (and pervasive) the ecosystem has become! Two thumbs way, way up on your latest tome for the masses! Keep up the great work!

I’m pleasantly surprised. I thought the iPod Buyers’ Guide was just going to be a very large advertising spectacle. It turns out to be very enjoyable, light reading. Product reviews and synopses are appropriately-integrated with ads to keep the material interesting. I’ve enjoyed it on two plane trips and I’m not finished yet. I had no idea many of these products were even available. Thanks iLounge. A very slick publication.
(The print version seemed easier to read on my laptop, though. I’m glad I downloaded both.)
