Review: I had to return this item and buy the paper version. I looks very good and it works fine on my 24" PC monitor, but there seemed no way to split the two column page on my Motorola smartphone. Consequently, each whole page appeared on my smartphone screen such that the printing was too small to read. Normally when I download a book you can change the size of the font to one you're comfortable with. With this book you're stuck with what you get.
