I enjoy having this book on my Android tablet and it is a great resource. There is, however, a problem with the formatting of this ebook where it says it only has 82 pages when it actually has 1000 pages or so. If you click on the section you want in the Table of Contents, it will take you to that section, but if you try to skip to a particular page it won't work. The vast majority of the middle part of the book, several hundred pages, all say they are "page 45". I know it's not just my tablet, because the Google Play listing even says "82 pages". If this problem could be fixed, it would be perfect.
