Glenn and I had both the Kindle edition and the actual book and I read part of it on the Kindle
first, then switched to the real book. I must say, I was disappointed to read this particular book on the Kindle. Why?For many reasons. First, Ferriss's book is huge and feels so substantial that it gave me a sense that I really got a lot for the low cost. The Kindle edition, not so much. Second, in order to use the exercises which are a bit complicated, the reader needs to see the pictures. I was surprised how easy it was to figure out the stretches and exercise moves with the actual book which I could also drop on the floor beside me and flip through the pictures as I did some of the workouts. I can't flip through the Kindle that way. Finally, I like to go back and forth in the book to other chapters quickly, especially when writing about the book in my previous post and it is hard and more cumbersome to do so with a Kindle.
For those of you who are Kindle users, have you had a similar (or different) experience?
