I see one reviewer dislikes the fact that it cost fifty cents more to get this book from in e-format than paper format, so they gave the whole book a one-star rating. I don't think that does justice to the book.I don't think a review is the appropriate place to get into e-book pricing (such as why do some e-books cost more than paperback editions, and so on) so I want to focus on this specific book, Outdoor Emergency Care Fifth Edition.Yes, I do have it in both formats, electronic and paper. And over 1100 pages of reading in the paper format has been hard going; the e-format is much easier. Not to mention that I can SEARCH in the e-format for specific words or phrases, so I can find things that are not indexed. And I can highlight sections and make notes in the e-version. And easily find and go back to those highlighted sections. And I can have it on two devices at once -- say, Kindle for Mac and an Ipad or a kindle device.The CONTENT of the book is much improved from the 4th edition. Yes, this book is a lot to read. But it is more readable and more consistent in style than 4e was. And in almost all areas it brings NSP into better alignment with the current practices in national EMS systems.There are some typos, inconsistencies, and errors in the book that cause me to only give it 4 stars -- for instance in the print version, on page 220 infant respirations are given as 20-30 but on page 221 as 25-50 -- and I hope those will be corrected and a new printing of the book issued soon.Also, if you buy the physical book you get an access code to myNSPkit. As far as I can see, my download didn't come with that code. Not a big deal to me because I have a code from the physical book, but something to keep in mind.
