These PDFs have been formatted to be read upon your smartphone
when it is held horizontally.
Downloading these PDFs to your smartphone is child's play,
however navigating them and bookmarking them could drive you to drink.
Therefore I strongly recommend that you only open the PDFs
using the FREE kindle download.
When you do, a dialog box will ask you
if you'd like to covert your PDF into the Kindle format.
Enthusiastically click NO
lest you lose my formatting
and are left with word salad.
