Heard great things about it and really want to read it. However, a warning to anyone thinking of getting this book on kindle: It's unreadable. It literally will not download on a kindle device. Just purchased it recently but will have to refund.

I had this same problem. I does work on the kindle app for desktop. Funny thing about the book, it was made using troff, one of the original unix utilities.
You are correct--it is pretty disappointing they haven't made it available on normal kindle devices.

That being said, I think you will be able to read it on the kindle player on a desktop computer. At least, that worked for me. I admit this is not ideal, but the book is fantastic and it was worth the extra effort.
