In the thread comparing Calvin's Institutes the first English translation, by Thomas Norton, elicits some praise. Enough to pique my interest so I go to Amazon to see what my options are. Typing in the requisite info to their search menu brings me to a hard copy or kindle.
So I opt for the kindle version @ $0.99 and download it. It is not the Thomas Norton translation, so I immediately return it. I had hoped that the reviews would tell me if it was the Norton version, and if it is formatted well for the kindle.
Here is where my rant starts ... There are 351 reviews for Calvin's Institutes on Amazon. Whether the Battles, Beveridge, Allen, or Norton translation is sourced on their pages, whether hard copy or electronic, the same 351 reviews.
I have spoken to Amazon customer service on the phone about this, a fool's errand I know, but as the kids say .... it is what it is.
End of rant.
I bought it on Logos so now I have it ... now to read it ...
