Got this as a Kindle download to my iPhone. Nothing in here that isn't available on line at Apple help, but it's more organized and easier to read. A good reference and once you read through this book, you'll be an Apple TV expert.

5.0 out of 5 stars INFORMATIVE, June 29, 2008

By	J. Harwig (LITTLETON, Co USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since there are very little instructions with the Apple TV this Pocket guide was very informational. It not only helped explain set-up possibilities, but also explained the difference between streaming and syncing. This guide gives one the ability to use their Apple TV to the fullest.
