We all know ethics can be boring and tedious but it is something we all have to know and be aware of because it is a vital to acting in a professional manner. Of course, you are also probably assigned this particular book or are thinking of assigning it as part of the curriculum for an ethics class so I am going to weigh in as a student who bought the kindle version.I like that with the kindle version you can search for particular passages, which makes it super easy when you need a fast reference for a quiz. If you download the kindle app for a desktop you can actually copy and paste passages onto a word document and it insert a citation automatically, which I though was just fantastic. I can't say off the top of my head if the citation is APA or MLA (but who is psych uses MLA.... or any other dept besides English?? IDK but they should just use APA) but a citation is awesome either way. Plus you could just modify it if you need an in-text vs. a references citation. It even gives you "page numbers" which for the kindle are "kindle locations". This is the first text that I have ever gotten on the kindle and I am glad that I did.Now for the book part of the review.I like the book and how it is written. It makes it fairly easy to read and understand. I know we are all in grad school blah blah blah.. but its is still nice to not have to deal with overly verbose sentences or authors that keep making very concise, but tedious and difficult sentences to muddle through. Ethics is not just a collection of principles and laws, its almost an art, in that you have to think critically to be able to see something from all angles and nobody has time to do that AND deal with annoyingly difficult text.
