I returned this book to amazon. None of the embedded images displays in my kindle. The book has lots of links to illustrate points; it's a book that thinks it's a website. The information is identical to the Help sections on Substack with slightly different wording.

A technical how -to guide as the title says, not best used on Kindle and would be better as an intuitive website.
