There are some formatting issues but they're pretty minor compared with other software manuals I've seen in ebook format, and these books are excellent. The Fairlight book is an eye-opener in terms of explaining workflows and revealing features I didn't know about, and has been updated for version 15.2 (it even tells you how to duplicate a timeline, which has changed with v. 15.2).
The formatting issues are rampant and not minor. The Kindle eBook is awful to look at. I have both the Resolve 14 and 15 versions.
This seems common with Kindle eBooks. They all seem automatically generated from documents, and no one ever edits them for consistency.
- Random paragraphs of Tiny or Huge Font Size
- Awfully placed Photos
- Captions detached from what they describe
- Bad Spacing on almost every page
- Punctuation, etc.
I'd definitely prefer a PDF version. The Kindle version is so poorly done. I'm not spending a cent more until I know they've addressed this.
I feel like these people are writing their books in Microsoft Word, and just auto-converting from DOCX to MOBI. Scrivener has been a thing for how long? WordPerfect does this better and exports to ePub natively. There's no excuse for this.
Also, why not on the Apple Books store, for those users?
As far as "Definitive Guide to DaVinci Resolve," it's incredibly basic and not a very entertaining tutorial. The choice of sample material probably plays a part there. I'm not really interested in glass blowing, etc.
