@SimonLab are you reading the PDF on your Computer/Phone or on an eReader? 🤔

[SimonLab]

I have a kindle and wanted to find the mobi file format of the book but unfortunately my search wasn't successful.

I normally prefer reading on my Kindle to not destroy my eyes in the evening. So I think I will convert the book to mobi, epub format soon.

Apparently the "email to device" feature of Kindle works for converting PDF:

I've used Calibre in the past: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conversion.html
Look forward to your thoughts on this book.
Anything from Basecamp is worth reading. 👍

@SimonLab were you able to get the PDF working on your Kindle? I totally want to read this book. 🙏

[SimonLab]

I bought the paper version at the end. If I remember correctly, converting the pdf to kindle format didn't work well as the formatting wasn't great

[nelsonic]

@SimonLab thanks for reply. Lame that the PDF doesn't convert well. 🙄
Would you recommend getting the paper version? 📖
I've skimmed through the contents/outline of the PDF and it looks like a good read. 💭

[SimonLab]

I haven't finish to read the book, but there are some good advises from the part I've read.
The book focus on how a team can validate and create a product efficiently.
It might still be worth to buy the paper version or print the PDF if you have a printer.
