Customer Reviews
Good content, poor interactivity
The content is good but the format is useless. It’s just a pdf but worse, because it does not allow highlighting features.
Not accessible
I would appreciate fi this book were made more accessible for the reader.
Warning: Not well formatted
I must be able to highlight and utilize screen reading functionality. I can’t do either with this version. This has everything to do with the ebook formatting, and nothing to do with the content. I will now spend more money and buy the physical copy.
