5.0 out of 5 stars Zune for Dummies, September 9, 2007
By Cheryl A. Baker (Lompoc, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OUTSTANDING - I'm not in the 11-29 group so I needed all the help I could get trying to bring my new Zune up to speed. This book is absolutely amazing - it worked and now so does my Zune. I am VERY delighted with both the book and my new Zune!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have primer; better than Zune's own instructions, August 5, 2007
By Bo Gourley "BoGo" (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The one-page pamphlet that comes with the Zune is simply insufficient for the novice. Zune for Dummies got me through the first week of trying to figure out how to do things that the Zune instructions don't get into. Zune is great for video, but Zune instructions don't tell you diddly! Zune for Dummies gets you going in the right direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has it all, March 11, 2008
This book has it all. I had bought the pocket guide in store at Barnes & Noble as they didn't have a copy of Dummies. The pocket guide was mostly technical and did not tell you how to do much of anything. The Zune for Dummies book gets into everything you need to know in order to actually enjoy using your device. Specifics that were helpfull was video conversion, preferred settings, and links to many websites for downloadable content.
