The Kindle version of this book is positively terrible across multiple platforms (Android, WP8, Desktop). The formatting is all over the place, often obliterating the columns and making all of the text run into a single massive paragraph, which renders it pretty much illegible. This doesn't happen all the time, only in specific sections. Additionally, it seems some (I'd approximate as ~15%) of the text is a scanned image, based on the fact that the font size is completely different from the rest of the book. Just overall a very disappointing and sloppy presentation, especially considering it costs just as much as the text version. This should be fixed.

What I like:
-Sometimes helpful if you get pimped on the wards
-Good practical knowledge (how to tie a knot, common abbreviations, how to write surgery notes)

What I don't like:
-Won't help you on the surgery shelf or Step 2
-Difficult to memorize because it's a bunch of short questions and answers
-Awkward size and heavy, won't fit in lab coat

Summary: It's OK for factual questions that attendings or residents might ask you on the wards, but useless for the type of questions you'll find on the shelf exam (next step, treatment, how to diagnose, definitive test, etc). NMS Casebook is an actual text you can use, supplemented by Case Files, Pretest, and USMLEworld questions.
