I've never used stripe.press before, but that is a very confusing UX. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing with it.

It’s horrible. On mobile the page scroll keeps “jumping” around and i cant read it. I will buy the book though.

Works really well for me on iOS Safari. Maybe an android thing?

Beautifully done. I love that it has two modes - one similar to the book itself with the pictures (actually really feels like it) and the Berkshire mode.

Love this book, and looks like stripe.press has some other really good books like Hamming's The Art and Science of Doing Engineering.

That being said, the UX of this page is horrible. Scrolling hard, navigating hard, bad font. I cannot believe they put this out.

This is so awesome and made me smile a lot! I have the physical book (expanded 3rd edition) but it's big and heavy. I could not take it with me when I relocated to another country with just 2 suitcases. But I miss it so much. In addition to the deep wit and wisdom the print quality is superior and very enjoyable. This website is the next best thing. Pdf of this book is a miserable torture.

What are your opinions on the book? I started it, expecting a modern day Poor Richards, and couldn't shake the feeling it was a wealthy person giving advice from a vaulted position --- like "life tips from Bill Gates." CMO.
