Yes this is true.

Their chunky size, while I'm sure was designed to be less intimidating and more attractive to buyers, makes them less easy to read- in my opinion. If they were longer and wider, it would be easier to use. To me, that's a negative factor.

I'd dearly love for Print On Demand to be a possibility with them, it's impossible to get hold of physical volumes for their Tamil and Cantonese courses without paying stupid prices. Of course, even if they do move to Print On Demand, they might not want to cannibalise sales of their newer courses where they have multiple generations in the same language, or choose to be associated any longer with some of the content in their older courses. The Tamils in their Tamil course are perpetually penniless, for example, and infrequently try and cadge money off each other. Someone might take offense.
