I am a full professor at Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, UK. I have been working in the area of HCI since 1984. I realise this sounds like a long time ago - and it is just about the entire history of the subject. However, we are still creating interactive products that are just not good enough. I am here to champion good deisgn.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version costs MORE and doesn't even work on a damn kindle. Don't buy this.

How the hell can you charge $78 for a Kindle book that ISN'T EVEN COMPATIBLE WITH THE KINDLE???

This book was a mandatory textbook for a course at university. If it weren't for the fact that I need the book to study, and Amazon delivery for books like this is unreliable, I would probably refund it immediately.

Instead, I'll be forced to read the textbook on the Kindle for Mac app, which is an absolutely terrible experience in general. All because a PUBLISHING company cannot properly format a textbook for Kindle?

I've seen, bought, and read plenty of self-published books, written and published on a budget that were better than this book's formatting.
