  Is there an epub/mobi version? I'd love to read it on a kindle.

    There will be shortly. The Holloway format has more features (comments, search, infographic, etc.) than an epub so we launch web at first (today). If you purchase now it includes instant online access and future updates, and that includes upcoming epub and other download formats too.

  I love that your website offers a dark/light theme switch toggle, but I'd love it even more if it were "sticky" (sets a cookie so it stays dark or light) across the entire site and through multiple site visits.

Nice, given the format, is the plan for this book to be continuously updated if needed?
- giacaglia 4y ago
  Yeah, we are going to update the book as new developments occur. There is a new section dedicated to just that!

  Josh with the publisher (Holloway) here. Yes, indeed, that's a key feature of our format. Especially expect we can see updates on the chapter on recent/emerging developments and companies/teams. Readers can also make marginal comments. Do feel free to use these to suggest corrections or additions for the future!

All I want to do is see the ToC. Apparently that is discouraged as before I see the bottom of it a popover obscures the screen. Definitely not buying a book I cannot even see the ToC for, but I have to imagine this is an error in the site rather than intentional, and so I post this here for the authors to review (since they have commented).

  Hey appreciate the note. You can always see the full table of contents here on the about page for the book: https://www.holloway.com/b/making-things-think https://www.holloway.com/b/making-things-think And fair point about the login-wall obscuring the TOC. We'll look for a way to avoid that frustration.
