Yes, as usual it is a PDF
As unuseable as they get.

Horrible, *horrible*, HORRIBLE.
- page size 190.5 x 272.8mm
- extremely wide page margins approx. 40mm left and right, 50mm top and 30mm botton
- text unrelated to the book in the header and footer
- grey "watermark" picture (several objects) in background behind text on EACH PAGE (OCR engines are gona love that one!)
- "left" and "right" page have a little bit different sized margins to make automated removal of said wide margins much, much more interesting ;-)
- even if you print it out, the text occupies only 40% of the page.

<sigh...>
when will they learn?
Indeed, I was holding out for anything but pdf but sadly they have done the usual.

Why does everyone like PDF so much? I guess they are print companies but surely they must do some research into ebooks and formats.
