The book itself is fine however, the title explicitly states that the Kindle version comes with an access code to the Navigate 2 Essentials site. After extensively searching the book and contacting I was informed that the Kindle version does not have an access code despite falsely being advertised and sold with the impression that this would be included. If you buy the Kindle version just be aware that you will not gain access to the Navigate 2 Essentials site and will have to find an alternate means to an access code.
This is an excellent textbook and I recommend it. Unfortunately I could not give this 5 stars due to the fact that it misrepresents itself. The Navigate 2 Essentials Access is NOT accessible. If it does exist then it is not easily found. I have went through the book and searched my emails after the purchase and there has been nothing. I feel cheated since this product was not all that it promised. If this actually does offer the Navigate 2 access then it should be easy to access and find. Also, in the kindle version you are not able to magnify the charts and tables if you would life to see them more clearly.
This is not the product it was depicting to be. There are two different books and this is most definitely not the right one, though it doesn't show. Now I am out the money for a book that isn't right.
I ordered this book for an EMT class I'm about to take. I bought the paperback used edition and I received it in almost flawless condition! Compared to paying $500 brand new for this book, this was a win! The access code is inside the back cover too unrevealed and unused so that'll be useful as well. Highly recommend, exactly as it says.
UPDATE: This book DOES come with an access code. HOWEVER, you need to confirm what access code you NEED first. This text book comes with ESSENTIALS access, not ADVANTAGE, PREFERRED or PREMIER. Many EMS classes require PREMIER so you need to make sure you are purchasing what you need.I originally rated this 5 stars. However, I'm changing it to 1. This whole access code nonsense is very deceptive, especially when many people believe it is what they need when it says "Essentials."
The idea of being able to get this as a soft cover book at a much lower price was originally a huge relief. However, double check what level of access code you will need. My son needs the premier version of the code and that is not the type in this book so we still had to buy the hard cover book and will need to return this one.
This book is the standard in my state for EMT training no matter who you take the course with. It has highlighted material and anyone using it should simply learn the highlighted material to be tested. Everything highlighted comes on the test.
What can I say... it's a school book. It's exactly what she needed for EMT school.
