How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide (Kindle edition) for $1.99 + free shipping

Guide to Espionage, Style, Women...
If you like the Archer TV series and like to read, this is a great deal. Don't know if this is their regular or a sale price.

The paperback edition was presented to me as a quick pick for over $10 but when I saw the $2 price tag for the Kindle edition, I had to share. I don't know if the Kindle edition is well formatted because I haven't bought it yet (but I'm about to).

I purchased the Kindle edition when it first came out a few months (year?) ago. Now, I LOVE Archer. I can quote it with the best of them. I NEVER miss an episode.

The book is decently funny, the problem is most of the comedy is found in the footnotes. Footnotes that are PAINFUL to read on a kindle. Each time Archer makes a comment where he also makes a side comment, you have to cursor up to the footnote marker, press enter,and wait for the kindle to find the footnote and display it. Then you mash the 'back' button, wait for the kindle to find the page you were on, and re-display it.

Some pages have multiple footnotes, so you end up doing this MULTIPLE times.

I love my Kindle - it's the only thing I read books on. But the way this one is formatted is a KILLER. If the side-comments were made without the need for navigation (possibly parenthetically), this would have been a hoot to read. Otherwise, I think I would actually recommend the hard copy over the Kindle ed.

Definitely formatted to be read on a touch device. The million footnotes are a pain on a Kindle Keyboard. I loaded it onto my rooted Nook tablet and am enjoying it quite a bit though. I wouldn't recommend the Kindle version unless you've got a touch device, but if you do, definitely snag a copy.

Love the show, but probably never would have bought. But for $2? Looks great on Kindle Fire.

Wow, 8 down votes?
The title of a book doesn't matter?

"How to Archer: The Ultimate Ever Written", does not make sense, so when you insert the operative phrase "Guide to Espionage, Style, Women, and Cocktails" in the middle of it, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Correction:
"How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage, Style, Women, and Cocktails"

The words "Ever Written" are superfluous.

I spy a grammatic error in the title.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
