The content is very good but the ebook adaptation is not. It seems that they just took the the book and pressed export to google book and then published it without any sanity check. <br /> Things that needs to be fixed: <br /> 1. Table of contents. EVERY heading is a sub chapter. So there are a few hundred of then which takes a while just to scroll through and therefore you can't find anything and it's useless. (This is only present with the Android version, not web version) I have a printed table of content to just get an overview. <br /> 2. You can't copy any text from the book. Which is really annoying due to there are a lot of code examples. Yes, there is code for the book that you can download, but they are whole examples, often you are just interested in a line or two. Also some shell commands that you don't want to write letter by letter like java -cp gdx.jar;gdx-natives.jar;gdxbackend-lwjgl.jar;gdxbackendlwjgl natives.jar;extensions\gdx tools\gdxtools.jar com.badlogic.gdx.tools.hiero.Hiero
