You've learned the basics of LEGO robotics, and now you're ready for more. Mastering LEGO MINDSTORMS teaches you everything you need to know to level up your robotics engineering skills, using examples compatible with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and SPIKE Prime sets. In no time, you'll be programming autonomous robot vehicles, interactive games, LEGO musical instruments, and more. Rather than feature step-by-step instructions for building a handful of models, you'll find essential information and expert tips and tricks for designing, building, and programming your own robotic creations. The book teaches the fundamentals of writing text-based code for your robots using the popular Python programming language; shows how to harness gears, linkages, and other mechanisms to create all kinds of motion; and explores sophisticated programming techniques for popular applications such as line following and obstacle avoidance, using both Python and Scratch-based Word Blocks. As you learn, loads of challenges and open-ended projects will inspire you to try out ideas.

    In the desktop Kindle app, the book displays fine and is readable but I bought it for my Kindle 6'' Paperwhite (bought in 2018), so that's what my review is about.

    In the page display settings, there is just a limited Layout menu, no Themes or Font settings.

    By default, the book has some margins that make the page even smaller, but at least there is a setting to remove them. Some page are blank, so you're not sure whether the page hasn't properly loaded yet; having "Page intentionally left blank" seems redundant but in some cases is actually quite helpful.

    The text is small, very light gray text over white. You'll need a magnifying glass to read the code in python or in the visual code blocks (where the block colors are translated to shades of grey, kind of ok enough to read once magnified). The images are actually the only thing that come out good, except when there is some text.

    I haven't read the book itself yet, but noticed it doesn't have building instructions, just a couple of images of the model and a text description of it. It has interesting activities and extended topics ('Think about it'). An issue with making robots move and turn is that the sample programs may not produce the expected movements with your own hardware (the exact distance, or the exact turning angle) and there is a discussion about tuning it, so that's appreciated.
