3 Stars Kendalized disappointment
I am a professional therapist that works with addiction clients. I have used motivational interviewing for a few years. I just finished the “kindle” version of this book. Not a good experience. The written content was helpful, but the “kindleization” was a disaster. I was going to use this book to set up a 5 session MI group and was looking foward to not having to reinvent the wheel. The author had some very good ideas, but the translation to the Kindle made it a difficult tool. She has many ‘forms’ to use in the 5 sessions. But, the forms have mostly lost their formatting. The forms are indexed with page numbers, but the Kindle does not have page numbers, so finding them were difficult. Also, being in a Kindle format, I could not download the forms into my computer or printer, so I had to use PowerPoint Presentation to make up a facsimile of these forms. I ended up ordering a ‘paper’ copy of this book to reproduce the various forms. I would give the book 4-5 stars on it’s own. This is my first disappointment in the Kindle, just not a good book to ‘Kindleize’. Perhaps the book could be reformatted where the forms could be “indexed” so that the reader to go directly to the form. That would help, but losing the formatting of the form, along with not being able to print it would still make this book less desirable than the printed version.
5 Stars Great service
This book came to me in superb condition. It was shipped to me in a very timely fashion and looked brand new. Good packaging. Thanks for your great service.
