Subject: Isolated Pawn book, software

I have the book "Isolated Pawn: Theory Of Chess Middlegame", published by
Intelinvest.  In the back of the book they advertise a program: Chess Academy,
and they have quite a few data sets for it, e.g. "2000 Training Exercises" or
"Rook against Minor Pieces".  There's even "Isolated Pawn", and I wonder if this
is exactly the content of the book I own, but in computer form.

Has anyone used these products?  What do they think of them?

By the way, the book is pretty good.  The english translation could use some
work, but one can always understand what is being said.  Most of the book
consists of a position, followed by some moves from that position, with short to
medium annotations (as opposed to Hubner-style).  It is grouped into themes,
e.g. "Pawn structure transformation: Pawn breakthrough" or "An attack on the
king with a transfer of the queen to the kingside".
