5.0 out of 5 stars The best iPod book thus far, October 3, 2005

By 

Jennie (Boulder) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iPod and iTunes Digital Field Guide (Paperback)

I am very pleased with this book. It's small and easy to transport, yet it has soooo much great information. The color photos throughout are large and clear, and the troubleshooting chapter alone is actually worth the price of the book (especially when you consider that it comes with two free audiobook dowloads). Great value and very useful!

I have owned an ipod of some sort for several years but really never used the ipod to its fullest potential until I bought this book. It has taught me how to use my ipod for many things besides just music.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an ipod and would like to learn how to use the many features of the ipod and itunes. Well worth the money I spent on the book.

This review is from: iPod and iTunes Digital Field Guide (Paperback)

This is a great book. It is an indepth field for all information about the iPOd and iTunes. Very visual in color, it not only has great information but looks great. Comprehensive and helpful information for Mac and PC users make this a great gift or buy. It is literally a field guide and is smaller then a regular book so you can take it with you to learn as you go.
This is a great book for the price and what the you can learn. Author has does a great great job.
