I used the print version of the 8th edition for a class a couple years ago, but I didn't think I'd use it again and sold it. Now I'm taking a clinical nutrition course that uses the same textbook, so I decided to try out the Kindle version and save some money. I understand that there are differences in formatting between a print and Kindle version of a textbook, but the level of typos in this text are awful. It couldn't possibly have been proofread before publishing. Some of the essential formulas for calculating nutritional needs are indecipherable because symbols like = and * have been somehown exchanged for 5's and other numbers. I've even noticed that entire segments are missing from the text. I hope they are only small segments, because I'll be really angry if it comes time to take the exams and they ask questions about information that was omitted from my Kindle textbook. My advice is to wait for publishers to work out the kinks in this, spend a little extra money on the print version, and sell the book back to Amazon when the course is over.

This book is required reading but will also serve as a reference book throughout my career. VERY satisfied--just which it wasn't so heavy.
