A very in-depth guide, but now outdated for the exam.

Kindle Fire Rendering

The book renders well on Kindle Fire except for some of the bulleted list and some examples like packet details doesn't flow well with the rest of normal text. It's hard to tell when normal and packet examples are separated. I gave it 4 stars because it's a great book to prepare for an exam. Author will even send more stuff if you review the book. Nothing can prepare you for real life jobs, but this is the best way to try and prepare.
