What we loved:

InVision seems to have corrected (or guarded against) certain problems we encountered with the linkage in their other ebooks. So right off the bat, that gives this one a comparative leg-up! It makes a huge difference when the content works as intended and lets you access all the external resources. Aside from that, this is just a well-written and well-organized beginner's guide to product design.

What we didn't love:

On the flip side of all those great external resources, there are just so many of them. They're mostly descriptive links running down as full-page lists, and we can't help but wonder if there isn't a better way to integrate them into the ebook. It all seems useful, but there's so much of it and everything is separate web pages.
