Hi Tony - love the book (4th edition) and planning on purchasing the 5th as well.  Couple questions:

  • Would you suggest purchasing through your site instead to get future discounts, etc?
  • I read the book on my kindle and I have found that it can be hard to navigate through the table of contents because the chapters and sub-chapters are all at the same level (no way to expand/collapse, indent/outdent, etc.).  I was just wondering if there was a format of the book (maybe if I purchased through your site instead of Amazon) that made it easier to navigate?  I have gotten used to navigating via search, but thought I would ask if there was another option before purchasing.

Thank you and great work to you and your team!

The 4th edition is now very outdated (as you surely have noticed). We're just preparing to issue the 7th update for the 5th edition - probably tomorrow. This will include a lot of updates from Ignite.

 

Couple questions:

  • Would you suggest purchasing through your site instead to get future discounts, etc?

As we explain in the book FAQ, https://office365foritpros.com/faq/, the only discounts we can offer is through the web site. We can't offer discounts for Amazon Kindle.

 

  • I read the book on my kindle and I have found that it can be hard to navigate through the table of contents because the chapters and sub-chapters are all at the same level (no way to expand/collapse, indent/outdent, etc.).  I was just wondering if there was a format of the book (maybe if I purchased through your site instead of Amazon) that made it easier to navigate?  I have gotten used to navigating via search, but thought I would ask if there was another option before purchasing.

It is possible to load PDFs onto a Kindle, or convert an EPUB file to MOBI and use it on Kindle. Maybe those would be better.

 

Thank you and great work to you and your team!
