    The .mobi and .epub links do not work for me, perhaps those documents are not available yet. The .pdf link worked fine. Thank you for the book.

    For those of us who don't think like Microsoft wants us to ... Once you download the book on a Windows Phone, if you want to find it again, you'd go to the Adobe application.  Where it seems that you'll also find every PDF attachment you ever downloaded from your email.  Didn't really take me LONG to find it, but it just didn't seem obvious.  I was sort of expecting an icon to appear in my apps list.

    Did you know your title link links to a large version of the image, rather than your blog home page? That should probably be fixed.
