For Windows users, we recommend using either Chrome or Firefox as your browser for use with App Inventor. You must perform the installation from an account that has administrator privileges. Installing via a non-administrator account is currently not supported.
If you have installed a previous version of the App Inventor 2 setup tools, you will need to uninstall them before installing the latest version.

I would have never known had it not been for your book. Thanks for publishing it. Also, may I kindly offer a suggestion you may want to consider regarding the layout for future updates?
The screenshots and text show up on all my screens very small. Maybe a font of 2 or 3. Perhaps the screenshots and accompanying text could be made two or three times bigger. The color of the blocks has changed from the examples in the book to what I appear to have on my screen. The text is sometimes opaque about where each block is, but this could be on me. Sometimes it is a little difficult to tell which screen you mean, ie Screen1 or FindCustomer. Perhaps a little breadcrumb above each screenshot could make it painfully obvious which screen is being referenced.
Now of course I can and should be willing to dig a little deeper into the text you wrote and the downloadable projects you kindly provide. My fear is that someone may get frustrated at the not-painfully-obvious screenshots and miss out on the great resource that is your book. I think those are good ideas. I assume you are referring to the web site tutorials and not the e-books? Regardless, you have some good suggestions and I appreciate your taking the time to pass those along! Images that appear on web pages can be clicked on, and that will usually display a larger version of the image.
I should note this in the web posts! In about a month, I am considering go through and re-editing all of the web site blog posts to improve them and hopefully I can fix any of these confusing items. I will look in to that. Regarding 1, the text font and text size are set by the e-reader software. See if you can use an adjustment to change the text size. Screenshots are always a fixed size in an e-book — I wish there was a way to create variable screen sizes that would appear in different sizes on different types of devices.
I recommend, for best viewing, to view the e-books using the e-book e-reader software on a personal computer. The Amazon Kindle e-reader software. The images look better on a regular screen than on an e-reader.
Regarding 2 — could you mention an example of where the color has changed? I do like the idea of listing each block needed, especially in the early volumes, as I know that when learning App Inventor, it can be hard to locate the desired block in the palette. I will look into this.
Regarding 3, good suggestion to figure out a way to link these information better. In volume 3, I have already labeled each section with the screen name or an abbreviation for the screen name.
