Worst book ever, only bought because it was required.

The kindle version on android does not include page numbers for where you are in the book, it gives some kind of arbitrary position number. This lack of page numbers makes citing the book quite difficult since I have no clue where I am in the book. Also, when a teacher assigns to only read a few sections/pages of the book, good luck with that!
