Can anyone comment on how related this book is to LessWrong and the rationality community that we're all familiar with?
One of the two authors of the book is Wolfgang Spohn, whose work, as recently discussed in this comment thread, overlaps with lots of LW themes. E.g. he wrote a paper where he argued that CDT should one-box.
I see a way to download a PDF, and I see a way to view it in a browser via a URL that includes the phase "epubviewer". Is there a way to download this as an ebook that I have overlooked?

Of particular interest here is section 4.1 on subjective accounts of probability and section 8.4 which explicitly addresses Knightian uncertainty and its challenges for Bayesian accounts.
