The author is a graphic designer, and the book has a really unique presentation (similar to House of Leaves), like
this example
where the text is formatted to show a door in negative space. I don't know how well it's adapted in ebook form. The Kindle sample has a lot of images and computer screenshots, so they're certainly trying.

I think I'll avoid the ebook edition.
Just ordered a paper copy. It'll live on a shelf next to House of Leaves and Only Revolutions.
