Thanks, I read a lot and it is often difficult to find just the right book for a specific technology, so I always like to point out good resources when I do find them.

Much obliged. Plenty of useful information.

Not sure if this is in violation of your request to find a book that doesn't treat Kotlin as an alternative to Java, but thought I'd share nonetheless. Neil Smyth has a book (here's a preview: https://www.ebookfrenzy.com/pdf_previews/Kotlin35EssentialsPreview.pdf) that does focus on Android development but has pretty good coverage on Kotlin (Chapters 11 through 17). You can use the Kotlin on-line playground for experimentation = https://try.kotl.in. Neil Smyth and his publisher seem to be pretty good about refreshing it as new versions of Android Studio come out. I have the 3.3 book and since then, there's been 3.4 and 3.5; I assume that 3.6 is coming soon.

Looks great for starters. It has the basics of functions and lambdas.
Thanks

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

But some of them pepper the board with idiocy.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I think that'd be cloves.

yes, I see both translations - for cornation, both nelken and Gewürznelken are provided. For cloves, nelken seems to be the only translation to German, so I agree that that would be a better choice.

They have subtlety in Germany?
Next you'll be telling us that they have a sense of humour!

They actually do, but there's nothing subtle about it

Well, if my theory is right about the reason Germany has such a low covid-19 fatality rate, then my new diet should see me alright.
But I'm not going to tell anyone what it is, because I don't want people to start hoarding all the beer and sausa... d'oh!
