I made the mistake of buying the Kindle edition first; but it just reinforced that Kindle editions of technical books that have charts; formulas; and cross references that you need to refer back and forth to are not a good idea. I then bought the hardbound edition and I love it. If youre serious about using this book to learn from and keep as a reference; then buy the hardbound version; not the Kindle version.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding.
