3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in the kindle version August 22, 2011

By Tommy

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

What prompted me to buy this book was a website that had a snippet of it with a fantastic example showing how to solve a sharepoint problem I had, and I am looking for more of that.

Now I bought the book in order to see what else the book might offer, and to my disappointment, (perhaps partly in the Kindle format) is that it is just flat out scanned from the book.

The book is divided into sections, and one of them has 12 chapters in it, yet the kindle version only lists the top level sections, not the chapters, so not easy to navigate.

Also the code examples comes off as something that was copy/pasted from notepad.

To be fair I have only spent a short while with this book and is looking for very specific topics. But my initial impression is that the kindle version is a ripoff. I will update once I find the chapters I am looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book and use it every day April 12, 2013

This is the best PowerShell book on SharePoint 2010. I hope the author is planning for a new book on SharePoint 2013.

I am consultant, and I used this book a lot on many occasions
