I bought this Kindle book thinking it would be nice to have a little reference of conversion units handy, and then neglected it for several weeks. Today I opened it up and what a surprise!! WOW! This is a great little book, filled not only with conversion units for virtually every imaginable unit of measure, but it is a great refresher for a myriad of technical principles. It is filled with explanations of the fundamentals behind the units as well has fascinating little historical snippets about how the units all came to be. Highly recommended. We need more like this!

Comments from the Publisher:
The book was corrected on January 15th, 2009. The new version 11.1 completely resolves the image scaling problem.

The “Weights and Measures Study Guide”, besides being free, is a very handy collection of units, definitions, and formulas for just every field. The book has all of the units you would expect (Length, Area, Volume, Speed, Force, Energy, Electricity, Viscosity, Temperature) and also adds worthwhile sections on the various histories of systems (English, Metric, etc) and conversion guides.
While this looks good on the Kindle and formats just fine, it actually is very handy to have on the iTouchiPhone and PC with the free Kindle App. On the iTouch it is the perfect pocket reference for when I’m working in my shop and am away from the computer.
The navigation is good, complete with a linked Table of Contents, but the only issue I found was that the “Start” page was the middle of a chapter – not the Cover Page. Once I figured that out, it was easy enough to get started.
Overall, this is a great free book with a huge amount of information that is very useful to students, professionals, and the overly curious. I leave mine “parked” on the conversion guide page since that is extremely helpful information.
Highly Recommended!
