Questions about the Genki 1 book, newest edition (which I think is the 3rd)

Hi all. As the title states, I have a few questions regharding this book, if anyone could help I’d appreciate it!

1. If I buy the paper copy, does it include a code or whatever to get a free copy of the Kindle version? Or do you need to buy that separately? I see they both cost the same on Amazon.

2. How does the Kindle version look when you enlarge the text? Does it get blurry quickly, or stay nice and clear? I ask because I know that if you enlarge the text in at least one of the pdf versions floating around, it does get blurry and pretty unreadable. For example its hard to make out the furigana above the kanji. (That said, if the kindle version does indeed get blurry when magnified, but there’s a better, clearer pdf or whatever out there that doesnt get blurry when you magnify the text, I’d love to hear about it.)

3. On the topic of text size…. there isn’t a large-print paper version of Genki out there, for \*cough\* slightly older folks, is there? As mentioned in the 2nd question, I’d love to see bigger characters, and I know the characters on the paper copy are small too. Bottom line is it’s hard to read tiny characters while wearing my contacts, which I’m almost always wearing. I normally read e-text and enlarge it, but if that’s not doable with the available Genki copies will have to work it out another way.

Thanks very much for any insight!!
