Just make sure you sign in on the same account you bought the paperback with, and the $2.99 pricing will show up on the book page automatically. [Update: the Matchbook pricing only works on the United States Amazon site.]<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The reason I asked for matchbook pricing is that I personally feel that everyone should have a paper version of this book in addition to any other electronic version; I know I prefer paper reference books when thumbing through and looking for things, so I\u2019d usually get both. But that\u2019s just me. This pricing helps accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p><b>Nice Formatting and Fully Linked<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One reason this took so long to release is I insisted on using a special process that retains all links and better formatting than most Kindle books. First, the linking: it\u2019s fully linked throughout.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every time there is a line that says \u201csee this section in Lesson 8\u201d or \u201cread this note in Lesson 5\u201d there is a link that takes you there.<\/li>\n<li>The index is fully linked, so no scrolling to find items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, the formatting is excellent and based on the original book.<\/p>\n<p><b>Color Images<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One good and bad feature: the figures are all in color and look great on a color device. But they do not look very good on a monochrome Kindle. There is no way to load two files into Amazon, one that gets chosen for each device, so we opted to optimize the images for the most used choice, which is color. So my apologies to Kindle users without color. If you do not have a color Kindle device, it\u2019s probably best to load this one in the free Kindle application on a PC, Mac, or tablet, where color is shown.<\/p>\n<p>The Apple iBook and Nook files are not out yet, still working on those; we\u2019ll give you an update. Of course, if you are running a Kindle application on an Apple iPad or iPhone, you can view this Kindle file.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I am glad this is finally done, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Total-Workday-Control-Microsoft-Outlook-ebook\/dp\/B00JZRXG00\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1398776512&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=9780983364733\">go grab a copy<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Michael Linenberger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 29, 2014 The Kindle edition of Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook, 4th Ed. just went live today (finally!).
