It took me long to finish this book mainly because I wanted to really "get" the main idea and just go with it on my own pace.
What I liked about this book is how it is very informative about the topic. It's a good start for those who are interested in online publishing. It gives history and analytical view to the topic and covers pretty much the basics of the subject and the technological issues that relate to it.
When I picked this up I wasn't interested in online publishing but now that i've read it I am greatly informed about the topic.
The draw back was the repetition of some information: like how coding works and what purpose links serve on a web page.
Overall, it was a very informative book and I enjoyed the time I spent reading it...
