I have this title on Kindle, and the issues with it are typical of why I won't buy more Kindle books.
One of the two strongest issues is that graphics are unreadable. There are simple tables -- grids of information -- in the book which render at a fixed size. I can't zoom them, they don't get larger or smaller when I change fonts. They're in a different color and font, and I can't read them. They're important tables, and that they're missing or unreadable diminishes the value of this book. Other titles (the technical titles that I'm most likely to read, in fact) would be completely useless if tables, graphs, and charts in them were rendered so poorly.
The other issue are the footnotes. The authors have thoughtfully added footontes the clarify some of their thoughts and reference some of the claims they make. The footnotes are hyperlinks. The Kindle UI is awful; it takes many presses to invoke the hyperlink. (Sometimes, it'll highlight a word to offer a definition. Other times, it will highlight a passage and expect me to add a note or annotation. In other instances, poking the hyperlink will turn the page. In extreme situations, I'm simply unable to invoke the hyperlink becuase of these issues.)
When I do invoke the hyperlink, it takes me further into the book where the page with the footnote is rendered. This is disruptive because now the Kindle thinks my current, and therefore my furthest position -- is much deeper into the text than it really is. It makes synchronization very difficult. Reverting to the page which has the hyperlinked footnote source is dangerous. If I press the back arrow, I'm fine. If I miss the back arrow and press "home", I end up back at the carousel and I can't return to the spot I was reading where I clicked the footnote hyperlink.
Issues like this are extremely disruptive to the reading process and terrible for such mature devices -- Amazon has been shipping Kindles for more than five years, yet such simple user interface issues still remain.
I regret buying this title on the Kindle because it depends on tables and footnotes. The Kindle is usually okay for reading fiction, but non-fiction books that rely on commonly applied typesetting features that I've described are hobbled by these user interface issues.
The content of this book itself is very helpful; five stars. I knock off two stars for the poor presentation. I'm not convinced the plan the book establishes can be carried out in ninety days, but the points are all salient. Some of them would be served by clearer examples and deeper advice; the message can be clear but the mechanism for realizing the goal might be more difficult for some readers than the author anticipates.
