Yes, and I have been meaning to learn more about that. And I'm finding your book available through our state-wide Access Pennsylvania public library system. But it seems primarily intended for PC reading. The user interface seemingly intends to allow sending to an @kindle.com address in 30 page blocks, but it isn't working for me; I would have to transfer it to my Kindle one page at a time. And, looking at that first page, author Christopher Hill gets off to an amaziningly slow start:

The arrangement of this book calls for a word of explanation. In order
to avoid repeating at length what can be found in many textbooks, and
to have more space for attempts at explanation, I have, in the narrative
chapters, given merely a bald summary of events. The reader should be
patient when, for instance, he finds ‘the Cokayne Project’ mentioned
without explanation on p. 10. It is discussed at length on pp. 34–5.

I think I'll look further
