Anyone with a KDX and into Photography want to test this book?

We only have a K1 but it would be interesting to know opinions of the book from someone who is into photograph and also uses LR2...

Thanks...still deciding on a large format reader and this is the first KDX version of a book I am interested in as a reference manual.

I've had a look at it, and I wouldn't want to read it on anything smaller than the KDX. The reason it's optimized for the Kdx is that it has a number of screen shots of various LR2 menus. They're much too wide for a 6" screen.

I'm not into photography, but it looks like a pretty good book.

The sample is mostly text which would read easily on either a 6 or 9 inch screen. Once the book gets further along to sample's of computer screens and commands, my guess is that such images would not be easy to read on a smaller screen.

Thanks Nate...That was what I was wondering the most...the optimized for the KDX part...

I appreciate the feedback here too...yeah, the text part is no big deal either way, but the rest is an issue. In fact I was wondering if the 9.7" display is actually larger enough to allow the images to remain in context with the text being read.

it's an evolutionary process though...thanks a bunch..
