I read it from an pdf version of the book.
Chess.com analysis board is better than the other chess site I'm not supposed to name. (I will forever remind people how ridiculous that rule is.)
2 screens side by side, the board and the electronic book.
The analysis board's interface is fantastic. I can go into what ifs and come back to the main line seamlessly. And the electronic book is actually bigger in size than the real paper book.

And I can play the ending with the computer.
That was perfect.
