   The table of contents is not formatted in a visually appealing way. There is too much underlining and it contains page numbers – a useless inclusion for a Kindle edition.

   A good explanation of the concept of layers is provided.

   This is used incorrectly a couple of times and is distracting.

   A free, open-source software program called GIMP is discussed. I have not yet tried it, but it sounds like it may have some promising applications.

   On some of the graphics, too much text was included as part of the graphic and something about this made the text appear in a very light gray which was hard to read.

   Some pages of this book displayed poorly and I have to wonder whether the authors have gone through this book on a real Kindle or whether it was just viewed using a preview on DTP.

   When you view this book in the Kindle store, you see a cover; however, once you get it on the Kindle, there is no cover. This is ironic given the nature of the book.

   Some helpful web sites are included, both for royalty-free graphics and for other resources.
