4.0 out of 5 stars
This book does what it claims, and nothing more...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learn the iPod for 5 Bucks (Paperback)
The only other review of this book posted thus far is actually quite accurate. However, the # of stars awarded does not make sense to me. The book, in 52 colorful pages, quickly shows and tells you how to get your iPod running, and how to do the basic essential tasks (more or less). For $5 it is a true bargain. Yes, there are now at least 1/2 dozen or more very good books to instruct you on how to do most anything on an iPod. But that is not what this little gem purports to do -- and it doesn't. The author explicitly states such right at the beginning of the book. For 5 bucks you get the basics...and guess what? I have 3 of the other much more comprehensive books on iPods and iTunes, yet I still return to this one more than the others...because it is simple and very easy to use/refer back to. My suggestion? Get this book, and then pick up a more comprehensive, thorough one, and as there are so many I will only mention one, "The Rough Guide to iPods and iTunes and Music Online" by Buckley and Clark for $8.99. There are numerous others out there...just check Amazon. But for 5 bucks you can't beat this little book...you will learn the iPod for the 5 bucks that you pay...and for most folks, isn't that what you really want?

1.0 out of 5 stars
minimal information (possibly good for technophobes),
By Book Fan (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn the iPod for 5 Bucks (Paperback)
This is a small book, about the size of one of the super thin CD cases. It tells you about one cool thing to do per two page spread. It has about 50 pages. Do you get the idea?It is well suited for someone who wants to go just a tiny bit beyond what the ipod packaging itself tells you. Many of the things it tells you are simply how to turn on or off various options. This is a good book for someone who doesn't want to get involved in doing very much with their ipod, but just wants to know a bit more than what apple tells you. If you're getting an ipod as a gift for a person who is not experienced with technology, it would be a good choice. However, if you're the type who is using amazon to find an ipod book, you would probably find this book unsatisfying.
