I ran into that recently. I can read it in the Kindle app on the Fire
tablet, which is essentially Android, or the Windows app on Windows. There
is no Linux Kindle app. It's a Pico C programming book with a strange
format. I don't think it's a pdf but the pages are images of the hardcopy
rather than text.

I'd previously ran into that with 'Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition,
Code'  Apparently standard Kindles don't do matrix notation.
