The short story: This is a very good book. It covers an enormous amount of material, and strives (and succeeds well) to support beginning users of the Ti-83/84 (which are awesome machines!). The .epub flows well and look good (I did not look at the .mobi.) Chapters 2-5 are really important. I read these and got what I was looking for. I then read most of the the other chapters. They're just as good. This book is a great value.The longer story: I am a techie and a parent of algebra students in a school district that "requires" these calculators. I was unfamiliar with the Ti-84 and needed a way to get up to speed quickly. When I was offered a copy of the book, in exchange for a review, I thought. "OK..... perhaps it'll help me get up to speed quickly". It did because Mr. Mitchell has done a great job with managing a lot of material. But, if you are a parent purchasing this book, you should know that the target audience for this book is *beginning users* of math calculators, not unix man pages for the Ti-84.Here are a few nitpicks* readability: instructions on data/ formula entry are presented to the reader in narrative form, using graphics of the appropriate keys. I appreciate that this style lends clarity and exactness, but I find it hard to read. I think there are shorter, more compact ways to communicate the required steps but I know that this is my taste and not likely everyone's taste. Considering the target audience... this is admittedly being very nitpicky.* illustrative but simple examples. I would have liked a few heavier examples, but I suspect book length was an issue. There are plenty of short examples. Good for the s00per-beginner, not helpful for someone a little farther along.* MathPrint (MP) vs. non-MathPrint.
