I always try to allocate my star-ratings based on the product itself, rather than the packaging, text-digital conversion, customer service, etc... since those factors can vary and do not truly represent the product. Since Amazon doesn't provide multiple criteria for review, I think it's unfair for a book to receive poor marks due to a shoddy Kindle conversion. I give the book content 5/5 stars, and the Kindle Conversion (Fire) 4/5 stars.
Regarding Content: This book covers all of the items needed to pass the ITIL 2011 Foundations Exam in sufficient detail. Sections are organized around the ITIL Core Volumes. Each core volume has an overview and a section on processes. At the end of each section there are 6-10 practice questions with answers in the back of the book. I noted above that I used some practice exams from a different source as well, but I am confident that I would have achieved the requisite 65% score using only this book.
Regarding Kindle Conversion: There existed in the Kindle version the typical signs of a text-digital book transfer: misspellings, incorrect words, multiple choice errors, etc... but this was not by a long shot the worst I've seen. Most of the errors are easily spotted and chalked up to lazy editing (do they not have spell check for these conversions??), and there were not many of them to boot. *****As others have noted, there is no table of contents in the Kindle version. I easily remedied this by adding a bookmark to the beginning of every major section - a very quick and simple solution as you read through.***** Apart from that, this conversion was decent. I read it on the Fire, and all the images were double-tappable for expansion and consumption. All in all, not perfect, but still a 4/5 considering how easily the table of contents problem was to fix. Plus, at $10, it's hard to argue - it's rare to see a textbook on Kindle so far below the print price. Hopefully that's an example other publishers will begin to follow.
I recommend this book to anyone
