The book is indeed viewable on a Kindle (mine is a Kindle 2 International) though the text is a tad on the smallish side due to reduction of the PDF for the Kindle’s display.
If you want to promote this to ebook device owners you might consider making an epub and/or mobi format out of the original text.
Brian —
Thanks for checking it on the Kindle and for the tips on prepping it for eBook readers. We’ll certainly look into it!
Shalom,

I agree with Brian regarding the e-book on a Kindle. It views very well, with the pages as when viewed in a PDF application, but type is smaller than with a regular Kindle book. Still readable for most people, I think.
That was great advice and lots of information, thanks i cant wait to try it out.
i agree with crystal, its a very good ebook with good advice :)nn http://www.myfree-ebooks.org/nn
hey chris, i have shared this on facebook and twitter. i hope you are well, ken carter
I’d come to recognize with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think.
Very well presented facts, I hope to see more details soon.
I get the download of the book on my computer but I don’t see how to save it to my computer or Kindle. What am I missing? revwbcjr@gmail.com
Not sure how to get it on your Kindle, but to get it on your computer, right-click the purple button (or the CLICK HERE to DOWNLOAD link) and choose “Save Link As…” or “Save As…” option. Be sure to note where on your computer that you’re saving your file… Once the file is saved, find the location where you saved it (using My Computer or whatever) and doubleclick the file to open it. You will need Acrobat Reader but most computers these days have that on them already.
