* All kanji have furigana
* All vocabulary is listed with English under each paragraph
* The full story just in Japanese is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption
* After each story, we also provide an English summary. We recommend avoiding this until after tackling the Japanese, but if you need a little help, this summary should give you a hint.
Please note: All Japanese characters are shown as images. Even though the latest generation of Kindle can handle Japanese fonts, the upload utility Amazon provides does not allow Japanese yet. Of course as soon as it is possible, we will update the books with real Japanese fonts. We've tested this ebook on the newest (smaller) Kindle, iPad, and iPhone and the graphics are very readable, but unfortunately unscalable.
