5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, well written, highly recommended, December 10, 2004
By G. J. Kleinpell (Fort Myers, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I highly recommend this book to get a grasp on all the features of the fabulous Ipod. The author obviously has a good grasp in writing technical manuals. Well organized, easy to understand, bits of appropriate humor....this book will leave you with a great understanding of the workings of the Ipod, and well on your way to becoming a power user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Purchase, September 7, 2007
Because of the reviews of others on Amazon I decided to take a look at this book and then I purchased it. Filled with tons of information. Easy to read, understand, explained well and enjoyable. You cannot go wrong with this book. I doubt even the inexperienced will have any problems using an iPod after reading this.
