Calculus with Applications

I wanted to listen to the text on the way to work to reinforce my studies on the Pearson's website. However, the text to speech function is not enabled possibly because the kindle is actually made of pictures of the pages of a paper book. I used the CK-12 calculus book instead, which has the text to speech function enabled. Unfortunately, that kindle is no longer for sale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042XA2Y0/ref=docs-os-doi_0

Unless you are absolutely in love with the loose leaf concept you should avoid this book.Paper used is too thin and poor quality. For a price of $130, this is an outrage! I was trying to save a little money but the paper is so fragile that I was forced to purchase sheet protectors just to preserve the book so, really, I saved nothing and, in addition, I spent valuable time stuffing more than 300 pages into sheet protectors.I can not dispute the content since I have just begun going through the text but I have another math textbook in which Margaret Lial was a principal author and find her approach to teaching math to be the finest I have ever seen. The main thing I like is the fact that she tells the reader everything they need to solve all the problems they will find in the book. Let's face it, a teacher may know the subject they are teaching but still be a lousy teacher! So this kind of format takes the mystery out and gives the student an edge.The book is heavy on how the math is used in the outside world which is completely new to me and probably to most students of my generation and it does create something of a distraction because you may find yourself getting sidetracked wanting to look deeper into the application itself.

clearly has water damage, which is a little embarrassing. This will work for the semester though.

Be aware there are two different textbook. The paperback is the global edition and Hard copy is the U.S. edition. There are some differences and similarities for the math problems.
