Please be more explicit about which devices the kindle version will run on. Now I guess I'll just have to get a headache while reading it on my computer; despite the fact that I have a dedicated e-reader.....Edit: Does not work on the kindle cloud reader either; so don't get the kindle version if you were hoping to read it on a chromebook. (the only kindle app available on chromebook currrently is the cloud reader)Edit 4/14/15: After reading much of the book; I've upgraded my rating from one star to three because the material itself is really; really excellent. For a class textbook; this is pretty easy to read and I've learned a lot. I would rate 5 stars; but I'm still quite frustrated that the kindle version only works on the kindle desktop application.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fairly goodBy nvpThe content of the book is fairly interesting and easy to understand. I rented this book and it came in terrible conditions that's why I didn't get it 5 stars. But anyone can read this book and learn lots from it even if you're not required to buy it for school.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
