They've got to be kidding--especially when there's a print version available for $1 more. This is outrageous and should send any interested readers straight to their local library.

Not a book you can read at one sitting - best in small bites. The author has done an amazing job of finding sources for his inventors/scientists. I'd read it again and plan on passing it along to others. Rating: 4 / 5 Very well researched about an era I didn’t know much about before.

There are no chapter divisions. There is no interactive table of contents. According to the NYT review, one of the great features of the print version of this book is the illustrations and charts. While there is a list of illustrations in the beginning of the book, I paged through the entire first chapter and did not find a single one. This leads me to believe that they are not in the Kindle version, although I didn't have the time or inclination to "next page" from beginning to end. This is my first Kindle disappointment. And this for a book that is significantly more expensive than the usual Kindle best seller! Rating: 1 / 5 I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I am in the Kindle version of this book.
