It's an interesting comment on internet culture when a blog post about a 300-page book has a "TL;DR" section. :)

This looks really great for a geek like me who can somewhat do art/design, but knows something is missing! Ordered.

Amazon marks it as "Optimized for Larger Screens". How bad would it be on a 6" Kindle?

I couldn't tell you for sure but considering the sections on color theory and layouts, it would seem to be a lot harder to digest the book using a grey-scale screen that reformats the pages. (if that's what the Kindle does, I don't actually have one)

Are you planning on offering an ebook version? I prefer to read most books digitally, but agree that this type of book would be impossible take in on a kindle.

It looks great using the Kindle Cloud reader on my PC.

Are you referring to the preview or is the Kindle version out?

I really don't know what you're talking about RE: a Kindle version.

I'm talking about https://read.amazon.com/about

I'm not the author, I just submitted the blog post.
