I'm going to school to be a COTA and this was a great learning tool for my Functional Anatomy II class.

This was required text for the kinesiology section of my PTA program. I purchased the Kindle edition thinking it was simply the digital copy of the print textbook, as all of my other e-book purchases had been thus far. This was certainly not the case.
When I compared my classmates print versions, I realized my copy was completely devoid of all of the handy tables and charts (there should have been some great tables compiling origins, insertions, nerve segments, muscle actions, normal ROM, etc., as well as some detail illustrations). It should be noted that nearly a third of the original text was lost for the digital version in deleting all of the very useful and critical information present in the missing tables and illustrations. Also, many of the few images that were included were completely mislabeled, leading to much confusion in lab when trying to perform MMT and ROM. The format of the e-book didn't offer page numbers, nor was there a display function showing miniature page overview, so finding the correct place in the book was a nightmare of swiping through scores of "pages" (it took nearly a dozen swipes to get through just the references cited at the end of each chapter). There was additionally no flashcard feature available, unlike every other e-textbook I've purchased through Amazon. Frankly, Amazon's description is completely misleading, as it advertises the kindle edition as having the complete number of pages (656). Unfortunately, I didn't realize the Kindle and print versions were different until too late, otherwise I'd have returned it and purchased the hard copy from my school bookstore. Clarkson's text is a great textbook and reference for PTAs, but the e-book is GARBAGE and certainly not worth even a quarter of the price. This purchase was a major disappointment and huge rip-off.
TL;DR: The kindle version is a complete rip-off! Get the print version instead.
