Ouch, can this thread offer anything else besides endless musing?

I have a question regarding two specific books on stellar structure. Stellar structure and evolution 2nd Ed by Kippenhahn... and Stellar interiors 2nd Ed by Hansen... Can someone who is familiar with both of them compare their strengths and weaknesses and recommend one of them for serious...

The forum Probability etc. discuss Math. This thread slipped to a discussion of ethics. Please go back to math or terminate it.

The discussion in this thread goes nowhere and it is off the previously intended topic. Isn't time to close it?

I'm definitely done with buying math and physics books for kindle. In most cases, it's a useless scumbag. I don't understand why Amazon didn't stop doing this a long time ago.

'Probability: For the Enthusiastic Beginner' by David Morin with a lot of interesting examples and exercises. Author's name is a guarantee of quality.

Another book dealing (to some extent) with DM is "Principles of Astrophysics" by Charles Keeton.
