As a review for another one of those B5 Kindle items says...

"This product is an advertisement for the print version,

I should have paid more attention to what I was ordering. This 5 book
series put out by J. Michael Straczynski ([...]) is great, one that
I'm proud to have on my shelf. When I saw this on the kindle store, I
thought it was a great way to have the same information on the go.
When I read the title, I thought it was a reformatted/reorganized
version of the books I own. It is not. It is a 1000 word excerpt (most
of which is taken up by an ad for the real book) that includes just a
couple of questions and answers (contractually, they can not publish
the entire book as an e-book). It is fine as an ad, but I don't think
they should charge for it. Having 5 different versions for sale on the
kindle store is especially misleading.

Bottom line: Go to the cafe press link and get the real books if they
interest you (I'd give them 5 stars for any B5 fan). Stay away from
these ads. They aren't worth your money."
