I bought the Kindle version of this book and I'm finding it very interesting. I'm from the west coast of New Zealand so don't face the same weather conditions the author speaks of but nationally these conditions do appear at times. My biggest complaint is that the book did not transpose to Kindle format with ease. There appear to have been a number of tables in the book that have been turned in to lists that make no sense. Another is that the references appear in red in the main text (not necessarily a negative but distracting). I tried changing the font but this didn't fix anything. According to the author blurb on Amazon, this author is prolific in writing various articles. In places this book reads like a mix of an article and a Masters paper.
On the plus side, it is jam-packed full of relevant information for the Southern Pagan. More for the Australian with its references to Aboriginal beliefs but it gives an idea on how to look at other native belief systems. Questions are raised on how to use the northern mix of sun and agricultural based sabbats in the southern hemisphere when the seasons don't always allow the same progression of agricultural flow. Examples are given to illustrate the problem.
If you are only interested in a good read then the Kindle is the way to go. However, if you want to use this system in your own practice then it would pay to get the book so that the material is in the proper format. I intend to get the book.
