Good reads, great app!

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

I recently started using the Kindle app on my MacBook and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The app is user-friendly and has a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to navigate and access my library of e-books. The ability to synchronize my reading progress across all my devices is particularly useful and ensures that I can pick up right where I left off, no matter which device I'm using. The app also has a wide range of customization options, including font size, background color, and line spacing, which allows me to personalize my reading experience. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Kindle app on macOS and PC and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient and enjoyable e-book reading experience.

Excellent WWII Miniatures game

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our gaming club have been auditioning several WWII rulesets for use with our
extensive collection of 15mm models. We played our first Combat HQ game
yesterday and I think we may have found a winner! The game is simple to understand
and our group of 4 players were comfortable with the mechanics after a few turns.
There is only one mechanic for all of the various kinds of combat. Doesn't matter if
you are trying to call in arty or fire your Panther at Sherman you roll dice to meet a target
number and your opponent rolls dice and you compare. I've simplified it but that's the basics.
This was a big hit with us as we didn't have to follow several procedures that could bog a
game down. Everyone was active all the time.
The strategy come in with the command dice that runs the turn sequence. We've tryed
all the ways of doing this like dice in bags, flipping cards and the good ole stand by
of IGOUGO. Combat HQs method is a little of all that but throw in staff orders, wild dice
etc makes for a interesting game with many Decisions to be made as the table top General .
The rules are a little ragged around the edges and need some fleshing out and clarifications
but I'm sure Mr Bambra is working on polishing the rules up.
Our group plans on giving the rules set a full work out and we would advise anyone looking
for a WWII ruleset to give combat HQ a try.

Neither a textbook nor a cookbook, but a good treatment..

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Synopsis: The book was pretty much what I expected. I expected a tome that would be beyond a true beginner's grasp, but not an engineering treatment either. The author doesn't assume much of his charges here. I am not going to aver that this volume wouldn't befuddle someone new to the field, but it's as gentle with the reader as is possible given that you are following an engineer along as he designs a real-world speaker driver.

Junk:
The book is what is promised: a practical guide.

The choice of a subwoofer driver was a good one as issues like various bass enclosure alignments is given a nice going over. There is math, but it's math that any designer likely has good working knowledge of..it's essential.

I an am electrical engineer of too many years(my undergrad degree was gifted to me in 1983), so some of the math carries directly over from signal processing without derivation. The rest of the audio math I gathered prior to reading this in my "audio-aspirational extracurricular life." I am still not ready to design a loudspeaker driver, but if tasked with doing so, I feel like I am now further along the path. Is this an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect? I don't believe so. I have worked in both computation and semiconductor fields. I generally have a decent appreciation for what one needs to know in order to be successful at a task. The book has helped me realize where I need more training.

The last two sentences above are really where this volume has been helpful. In engineering most anything, there is a logic to the workflow. The task itself is best described by the solution of many discrete parts whilst being mindful of how these tasks will ultimately sum together to complete the larger task. For the non-engineer, internalizing this lesson is worth the cost of the volume. This part is like a cookbook, but the practices and principles have broader application. 'Loudspeaker Modelling and Design: A Practical Introduction' is just that. It also reads well.

It is difficult for me to characterize the book further other than stating it's both a fun read - if you're inclined toward such things - and it is logically assembled. I skipped around prior to sitting down(figuratively) and reading in the usual way. I did this as I wanted to determine if the book contained enough new information to me to be of value. The answer came slowly, but is a resounding "yes."

This may be the only time in my reading history where the pre-purchase blurb was precisely what was delivered. The publisher - or other copywriter - describes the content in unhurried, circumspect fashion. I will state again that there is math, but all of it is germane to the task. I think both engineer(as long as the reader isn't a speaker driver engineer) and curious other-than-engineer will get much from this book.

I already possessed a few of the pieces of software used by the author to model the subwoofer driver example contained in the book. Having or using the various softwares contained in the book are not necessary to get good data from it. I didn't open one program as I was reading. If I do try to design a driver in the next couple of years I will add to what I have and use the book as an assistant. Modeling software is quite powerful, but simply knowing how to do something is no substitute for knowing why. This book explains why.

One last but important thing: This was my first Kindle book purchase, and I read 'Loudspeaker Modelling and Design: A Practical Introduction' on three devices. The best experience was had on my 25" computer monitor. This is simply due to fact that the book contains lots of charts and graphs that do not accept scaling using the Android Kindle App. Other versions of Kindle may differ. In any event, a large screen will help.

Straightforward and works well.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

I do not have a Kindle, and prefer pages to a screen. So, this is ideal for the occasional download which I need for whatever reason. Sometimes, economy - as with the download of a book I've not seen since childhood which cost £1 for kindle version, and over a hundred for the only bound copy that I could locate! It works on my desktop and also on a couple of laptops and is very straightforward - which from someone who is not attracted to Kindle - and my wife who positively hates the idea of them but is currently using it for a book otherwise not readable - has to be high enough praise.

I have over 1200 plus E books. This is a great way to manage them.

Reviewed in Germany on October 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

The organisational ability of this EKindle is great. More importantly, I have a copy of each Ebook on my hard drive, so when I am away from home, I always have something to read, if I forgot to order books before I left.
I'm an avid reader of Litrpg and fantasy series and these tend to be released before a series is complete. With Kindle for PC I can check where I am up to and buy accordingly. I read books from many different authors and this is a way to keep tabs on all of their names, so I don't forget a new author that released his first book 20 books ago. The ability to change the parameter of a search between Author, Title and Release Date is a good feature too.
If there was a search feature that listed the books for more than one criterion, that would be grand, especially for multi book series. E.G. First criterion Author, second criterion Series Title, third, date released.
After reading so many books, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember book titles, so if a series is named and numbered by the author, this would be wonderful, but as not all of them do this, then if the Kindle for PC had this additional search feature, I would ultimately read series from authors that don't order their books per series number.
