Good material poor digitalization
The material is fine, but the kindle edition is rotated sideways and each scan overlaps. As a result you have to turn off rotation and turn your device to read it, and you have to hunt on the next page to figure out where they stopped previously. It makes for a very disjointed reading experience. If the fixed the digitization so the pages lined up correctly, this would rate much higher.

Still hasn't been fixed
I read the reviews and thought that they would have fixed this. Nope. Pages skip all over. 34, 7,41,23,12. Didn't find page 1 until I was 50% thru the book.
Come on guys. I could scan this and publish it on my home pc in an hour. Surely you could fix the formatting in less time than that.
