Rod’s IFR Pilot's Handbook for Negative User Reviews

✓ Good Content, Fair eBook executionI find I need to give this eBook a mixed review. Content: Overall, the content is very good. I would give it 4.5 stars for content. The material is presented in clear/concise format. The material refines and supplements what is available in the free FAA Instrument Procedures and Instrument Flying Handbooks. The sidebars are helpful. The illustrations are generally very good. The material is presented with a strong dose of humor. Humor is good, but in my opinion overdone in this book. Some people will love it, some will not. I found it a bit to punny for my taste (if you get my drift...) Execution: This is where this eBook falls short. I give it a 3 for technical execution. Essentially, it is a very large pdf file. You can zoom and scroll, but that is about it. It is portrait only, you can't use landscape. You can't select text and highlight or bookmark individual text. The bookmarking feature is limited.. you can only bookmark pages. There isn't a way to generate a "study guide" to review key points later. Images can be zoomed on the page, but you can't view images full screen. You can't tap to select a word and view the definition. There are no hot-links to take you to a different location in the book, for example when it says "discussed later in chapter 5" you can't link to that page. There are no links to outside webpages, for example when they reference the FAR's, you should be able to link to the actual regulation. There is no ability to search the text. There are no movies or animations. When I pay for an eBook instead of a printed book, I expect the author/developer to use the available technology and made it fit the electronic format. What you are essentially getting here is a printed book on an electronic screen, without any of the multimedia features that really make good eBooks shine. This surprises me since the author is known as a TV broadcaster and first-rate speaker. You would think he would have included some multimedia to jazz up the presentation. If they fix this... this book would be an easy "5"..ParadocVersion: 1

✓ Why not just sell the book?First, this is almost pointless on an iPhone as it is too small to read. Second, while it could look nice on an iPad you cannot view it in portorat format so you are constently scrolling in order to read each page. In the end why have an app in order to view a book? Why not just sell this as a book in the iTunes book store?.RippleMakerVersion: 1.5

✓ SpeechlessI have to admit this book is extremely annoying to read. The author has the most mindless sense of humor and nary a paragraph can pass without some juvenile rambling that is supposed to be funny. I wish I did not buy this as I prefer the dry FAA manual to this nonsense..Kaptain RonVersion: 1.2

✓ Merely a PDF with zero featuresNo index, poor search function, cannot select, copy, or highlight text... What's the point of a text book if you can't highlight what's important to YOU for review. Very disappointed..RJ,37Version: 1.3
