3.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the Kindle version! Tables are unreadable.
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024
I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book as I thought it would be handy to have readily available. The normal text of the book is fine, but some of the tables are illegible in the Kindle app due to extremely low resolution (example Table 7.2). There are kludgy workarounds to zoom in but the resolution is so bad it's virtually unreadable. I use Kindle app on Android and Kindle app on PC. Perhaps a Kindle device would be better but based on online reviews I doubt it. I am going to attempt a return so I can buy the hardcopy.

Would be nice if Amazon or author offered a supplemental PDF of tables and other images.
