 What a waste August 5, 2010

Maybe to the naive this might be an interesting collection of drivel but if you really want a source for conversion factors you'd do much better with numerous online sites. I can only surmise that the person who compiled this did it as a lark. I'm guessing that many of the terms, if they are indeed real, are from the UK. I'm an engineer and often have to convert our inch/pound system to metric units but this collection is almost worthless. How about units like "coomb" and "kilderkin" and "firkin" and "rood" or "twip". Of course maybe you really do need to know that both "stremma" and "dunham" = 1000 sq meters.

Very through. Some of the measures, etc were new to me. I may not know how to do the math to figure something out, but I found it interesting. A good quick reference to have on your kindle.
 Great Reference Work - Highly Recommended! May 14, 2010

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 iTouch\iPhone 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!

GREAT product, at a better price! Easy to use, clean and effective. The self contained bags make changing the litter a breeze, no measuring. The wife and cat love it!
Excellent Reference and Technical Refresher December 9, 2009

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!
