5.0 out of 5 stars An Intuitive Guide for an Intuitive Device, January 2, 2013

This review is from: The iPad and iPad mini Pocket Guide (4th Edition) (Peachpit Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
It is no exaggeration to claim that iPad has forever changed personal computing. In terms of its form factor, ease of use, and always-on accessibuility, it has revolutionized how we consume digital information, interact with each other, and create unique content. Its intuitive user interface is very easy to master, and yet there are few details and features under the hood whose that may require the use of a written resource. "The iPad PocketGuide" provides one such easy resource, and I'd recommend it to most iPad owners.

This short pocket guide aims to take away the mystery behind the iPad and help you make the most of it. The guide is written in an extremely accessible and to-the-point style, and from the very outset it takes you straight to the actual demonstrations of how to achieve certain actions on your iPhone.

This review is from: The iPad and iPad mini Pocket Guide (4th Edition) (Peachpit Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He has always disliked computers and tech but gave in and asked for an iPad for Xmas. I wanted a book that was not intimidating and one that would be readable with detailed explanations . I chose this for its size and because I had previous pocket guides by this author. He's been using it and very happy with it. Especially the size,
would have been turned off by a big, thick textbook type book.
