This book comes as a digital version and a two-volume hardcover. They are for sale on Kindle Books and Amazon.com. These sites only permit the linking of two books and does not link two hardcover books, i.e. our hardcover Volume 1 and Volume 2.
The digital version and hardcover Volume 2 are linked. You can find hardcover Volume 1 by scrolling down to "frequently bought together."
A Personal Note from the Managing Editor
Production of a textbook in the modern era is a challenging undertaking. The voluminous digital version with its high page count and many graphics creates a large file size, i.e., a Microsoft Word docx or Epub file would be too large for Kindle Direct Publishing A condensed file in PDF is required. This limits the e-Book's capabilities on Kindle Books.
And other considerations.... The page numbers on the text do not match the Kindle page markers. The Kindle page + 12 will bring you to the desired text page. Likewise, hyperlinks are not available in a PDF Kindle book. Kindle e-Books with adjustable text size do not accommodate graphics. Given the file size and adjustable text presentation limitations, we stuck with PDF format. We apologize for these limitations.
Kindle Direct Publishing is an evolving product. We will make improvements in the digital book as KDP provides more capabilities.
The hardcover edition comes in two volumes. A single KDP book is limited to 550 pages. Principles and Practice of Pleural Diseases has a hundred more. We did not want to sacrifice content and went for a two-volume set.
Our goal is to provide an indispensable reference for all those who treat pleural disease. We hope that you find it so.
Kind regards,
Jerry Slate, Managing Editor
