With considerable pain, I give Andy Field's marvelous, somewhat spectacular book, a 4 star rating. I bought it in Kindle, then in paper. Kindle absolutely lacks the technology to offer the book. I would rate the overall Kindle experience for this book around 2 stars. I will explain in a bit. On the other hand, for content, style, and all that makes for a great book, the paper version has it all hands down. I am a Ph.D. and an author. Never have I seen such an intelligent, witty book on statistics or for that matter on any technical subject. Field has helped me to understand statistics and their use in research in a way I never thought was possible. The paper version is 5+ stars. But books are more than just words in print. They are also a format in and of themselves, which brings me back to Kindle. I have around 200 purchases on Kindle, this is my first technical one. It is not possible to expand the graphs and charts, which are essentially unreadable (nearly microscopic) on the Kindle and are essential in understanding the subject matter. The paper version uses multiple columns and color coding to add to its readability. These are lost on Kindle Touch. Additionally, it is not at all easy to get back to your original location when you opt to tap a reference or go to a figure. You actually have to write down your original location number and "go to" the "got to" menu and type in the number "to get back." For me the Kindle works fine for a linear read, start at the beginning and go straight to the end...and I love it...but not a book that by its nature requires mobility. Now Andy, author to author, sit down with the Kindle and try to read your own book. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. :)

I purchased the hard copy for graduate statistics courses a few years ago. While writing the dissertation the digital copy has provided an ability to quickly access key information while writing components of the chapters, a great plus. The hard copy is wonderful and includes the SPSS CD. Increased efficiency during the writing process is the benefit of Investment in the digital copy, in my humble opinion.
