Pros:
An excellent preparatory guide for those studying to take the Graduate Reentrance Exam. Reflecting now--after taking the "old" GRE CAT (Computer Adaptive Test)--I'm pleased that the book covered all major topics present in the exam via both thorough explanatory passages and ample practice problems.
Cons:
The electronic version lacks links in the problem/solution sections, which proves irritating and distracting as you cannot quickly "thumb" back and forth between problem and solution pages. Secondly, the rendering of some problem/solution content is.. funky. The intended presentation is usually clear, but nevertheless distracting.
Overall: Great value purchase with drawbacks common to most electronic conversions. Highly recommended for soon-to-be test takers looking for an electronic copy of a respectable study aid.

This would be a great book if the GRE didn't make me want to kill myself.
Update- Yeah, the math section paid off. I got a 720 and thanks to all these ridiculous math problems I did over and over!
