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.
