I was excited to see this text available on the kindle and promptly bought it. I used my iPad (2nd gen) to read it.Pro: The content is good and the authors do a good job presenting this method.Con: The formatting as a kindle text it atrocious. Numerous issues with lack of flow, charts being choppy, and general layout problems. It was so bad that many times I spent more time trying to follow the flow of the formatting than the actual information contained in here.So get the book if you want a good description of a great manual therapy system. But don't get it on the kindle.
