Are you wanting to write in it? I dislike screen reading non-fiction PDFs myself but have dealt with it to get through everything. I see that you're working on Sophia; the closest equivalent would probably be to look for books on CLEP English Composition.

Sophia gives you a pretty good idea in regards to exactly what is expected and how to write a paper. If you are having issues simply writing, that would be a different type of book. Suggestions include AP English Literature & Composition for Dummies, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Well, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grammar & Style. These series (Dummies & Idiot's Guide) are quite popular and should be widely available.

I thought so, judging by your username. But you speak English much better than I can speak Dutch, so that's awesome.

This in part supports the theory that in the IT arena what you really know and are capable of doing is worth more than "academic status".

Where is Papiamento spoken? I've never heard of it and am curious.

But we live in the world where you have to have papers . For example you need degree for some promotions, or other situations. Unfortunately you have to have degree in some cases to get where you want to be
