Edison, His Life and Inventions (mobi)
This book does a good job of explaining Edison’s personality, and a great job of explaining his achievements. The book is obviously carefully researched, and demonstrates a deep technical understanding of Edison’s inventions. Thomas Edison was a prodigious inventor and a symbol of the American entrepreneurial spirit. His influence on the 20th century through the electric light, the phonograph, and his other inventions truly transformed the American experience. The book is well written, and I enjoyed reading it, and a reader looking for an understanding of Edison’s inventions will not be disappointed. The Kindle edition of this book is very good!

This book is fine for what it is, but it consists merely of a reprint of the original text. None of the original figures or illustrations are included, and these are an integral part of the book.

The invention of the first light bulb inaugurated a new age for man: Electricity. Just as Edison had to create the tools to make the first bulb, he had to create the industry to use it. He did, and in doing so he assembled the first research laboratory and gathered around him a collection of great minds — a rich assortment of men with varying talents.

It is quite a shame, that this facsimile is so badly made. The pictures are really bad reproduced and why is it, that page 117 is not there. Instead page 113 is shown one more time. And in several places the text is distorted from the scanning.

This book, like a number of books on the Kindle list, are actually ‘free’ in the sense that if you go over to [...] and search for the title (like this one) you will be able to download the book as a PDF. Its copyright has expired. A number of ‘enterprising’ (and I use that term loosely) people have taken to downloading those books, republishing them as Kindle books and charging a modest fee for them. (Frankly I find $4.00 outrageous for something that took the guy maybe 3 minutes to do).
While its not illegal to sell out of print books for money, it is not particularly moral. However that is not what gets this book 1 star. It would actually be worth paying a bit of money for it IF the book had been reformatted from the original scans AND IF the “publisher” had put some time and effort into checking for missing pages and material, perhaps re-drawn some illustrations or added additional context. But none of that has been done, this is yet another example of the
