This includes most e-reader applications on mobile phones and tablets (e.g. Apple's iBooks, various apps for Android), and on desktops (e.g. Calibre). - Kindle owners will generally want the AZW3 format. Unfortunately, AZW3s cannot be sent with Amazon's Send to Kindle service and need to be sideloaded via USB. Some have tried using Send to Kindle to send EPUBs, but with mixed success. - Kobo owners will want kobo's "KEPUB" format, which is a version of the EPUB format optimized for Kobo e-readers. ## Table of Contents - Cover - Titlepage - Copyright - Acknowledgements - Honest to Goodness - In the Eyes of the Wise - Did the Buddha Teach Free Will? - First Things First - The Karma of Now - The Streams of Emotion - Worlds & Their Cessation Toggle subsection - Mundane Right View - Transcendent Right View - Release from Worlds - Wisdom over Justice - All Winners, No Losers - How Pointy is One-pointedness? - The Limits of Description Toggle subsection - By Definition - A Distinction without a Difference - Further Implications - Why Does the Not-self Strategy Work? - The Right View of One Beyond Training - The Names for Nibbṅna - Glossary - Abbreviations ## Cover image - --> - - - -
