Not a review as such...more of a disclaimer for the Kindle edition
I reserve the right to review the content at a later date, but my experience with the other editions/samples/other reviews make me confident that this will be a very worthwhile reference book to have.
That said, I want to mention that I didn't see the notation stating that this Kindle version is not available for the Kindle for PC reader option, even though there is a sample version that works with the Kindle for PC.
A plus over the paper copy is the fact that the additional chapters (14-18) are included in this Kndle electronic version.

Manufacturer: Focal Press
Product Description:
Avid Editing is a comprehensive guide covering Avid Xpress Pro, XPress Pro HD, and Xpress DV. Due to the similarity of Avid's interface across product lines, it is also relevant for Media Composer and other systems. Suitable for beginning editors or experienced editors new to the Avid, the book provides step-by-step instructions for hundreds of editing tasks in jargon-free terms. The chapters guide you through an editing project, while the accompanying DVD provides narrative footage to download for immediate, hands-on practice. The book can be read and studied at home, or while sitting in front of an Avid, following the book's step-by-step instructions.
More than a software manual, this book delves into general editing techniques, principles, and pitfalls. The author is an experienced teacher who will help you master the Avid as well as improve your overall editing skills.
This edition covers working with HD, the 16:9 widescreen, and the powerful Script Integration tool. In addition, there's new coverage of the issues facing indie filmmaker who is trying to decide how to go from the DV stage (shooting on mini-DV or DVCAM formats) to theatrical distribution. As well, there is new material on using Avid in PAL regions.
* Focuses on Avid Xpress Pro, Xpress Pro HD, Xpress DV, and Media Composer but relevant to all Avid systems
* Companion DVD includes footage to edit to provide the hands-on experience you need
* Teaches HD, HDV, and 24P workflows
* Over 500 images and screen captures clearly illustrate principles

Still Reading and Learning, but...
I am still reading and attempting to learn Avid. I feel confident I will master and improve over time, and I know that I am more than capable (as I have learned to edit on both FCP and PremPro - the latter of which, Mr. Kauffmann, can be used on either a PC or Mac), but loved the idea of using this book in conjunction with the DVD ROM touted as existing on page XXIV in the introduction (and again referenced on pp 419-421).
There was no such DVD, and mine was a new copy of the third edition text.
What's more, I find it odd that references to the length of the third edition varies wildly from the description of 448pp stated in the desciption to the actual 421pp of the edition in hand.
I am encouraged by the comments written by those who purchased and have used this 3rd edition text, but wonder if they were likewise shortchanged on the DVD ROM and the lack of pages?

Product Description:
Are you looking for a book that focuses on just the most important and most useful stuff about your iPod (including the iPod touch, the nano, shuffle, and the iTunes Store)? Well, this is it!
There are basically two kinds of iPod books: (1) The “tell-me-all-about-it” kind, which include in-depth discussions on compression algorithms and tutorials on how to export your playlist in Unicode format. (2) Then there’s this book—a “show-me-how-to-do-it” book. Scott shows you step by step how to do the things people really want to learn about their iPods, and he uses the same casual, conversational style that has made him the world’s #1 best-selling technology author. This book focuses on just the most important, most requested, most useful things so you can start having fun with your iPod today. Right now! Plus, there’s only one topic per page, so if you want to know how to do something, you turn to that page and it shows you how to do just that one thing. It's a simple approach, and people really love learning this way!
As an added bonus, you can check out the best iPod accessories by visiting Terry White's Tech Blog (http://terrywhite.com/techblog).

iPod for Dummies
One very important piece of information is missing from this book, and it should be a caveat printed on every page: "Apple only allows ONE WAY to accomplish any task. There is no flexibility." If the book had provided this at the beginning, the information in it would have been a lot more helpful. Only after I figured out Apple's inflexibility was I able to apply lessons offered in the book.
