The kindle format, really any kind of text-based format, is not great for programming books in general. Code snippets end up having all kinds of hard to read wrapping, and also images and other things don’t really have a nice user experience on a Kindle. It’s really best when you’re just reading straight text, prose.

I agree. I write programming books for various languages and having to reformat text in sometimes funky ways to fit page width is a challenge.
