Review of iPad: The Missing Manual 7th Edition, byDavid Pogue

I must confess that I have become a huge fan of David Pogue's Missing Manual books, since I first discovered them about 4 years ago. Some of the MM's are written by other authors, but frankly Mr. Pogue's work is the gold standard of the brand, which is why I resisted purchasing the iPad MM until this year, when Mr. Pogue took over the task of writing it. I am happy to report, I have not been disappointed.

If you are a non-technical person or iPad novice this book will provide a cheerful, easy-going introduction to the vast capabilities of this amazing tablet, in a jargon free, easy to follow format. Even experienced iPad users will find tips and tricks that are otherwise very difficult to obtain from web searches or Apple documentation. While experts could conceivably discover much of what is contained in this book, it would be a poor tradeoff as the time spent on web searches and verification would far exceed the time required to simply read this book.

If you are a positive, forward looking sort, then you've heard enough. This is one of the best iPad books I've come across, almost everyone will find something to like.
Enough said.

However, if you are a critical, cynical sort, you'll want to know what's not to like. After all, nothing is perfect. The following is for you:

It seems to me that Mr Pogue has taken on a huge number of authoring commitments in the last half of 2014. He has written, or is in the process of writing/updating 4 books that I know of: his iPhone Missing Manual, his OS X Missing Manual, this iPad Missing Manual, and Pogue's Basics. The previous versions of this iPad manual were written by a different author, and it seems that Mr.

Purchased the (iOS 8) version for Kindle to use in getting up to speed with my new iPad Air (a huge upgrade from my old original iPad). Using Siri/Facetime/Video etc. - The Missing Manual offers great user tips as well as basic instructions. My new iPad is getting a workout. My husband's iPad 2 is being put through its paces as well - oh, the things he never knew.

I'm aware I could scrounge around and find instructions on this stuff eventually (yes, I have the Apple users guide), but what a great shortcut for the learning curve. Easy to read and logically organized, it's a real jumpstart for iPad users!

This book weighs almost 2 lb & has 540 pages so you'll know your iPad. Retail price as stated on back is $24.99. The pages are white matte and slick. The font is a medium size which looks to be size 12.
There is plenty to learn even if you think you know everything. It explains things like the 7 kinds of finger controls and changing the color balance of photos. Also panoramic shots, trimming videos, time lapse modes, panning, auto enhancing, cropping, adjusting colors, adjusting lighting of shots, all about included apps, deleting and rearranging, timers, stopwatch, explaining iCloud and iTunes, podcasts and hundreds of other subjects.
It's a great book!

Gotta say was disappointed with all the positive reviews. First, a disclaimer. I have an Ipad Mini 2 with IOS 8.1. However, the write up says the book is also for Ipad Mini's, not just Ipads. The main beefs are the number of errors, most small but irritating. And, that is after 85 pages. The section on Siri and dictation did not match the functionality of my Ipad mini. The other errors were clearly simple errors. Also, it seemed he was writing to an audience who had familiarity with Ipads or Iphones. I have neither but am quite computer literate. The third beef was the shiny paper and the skinny fonts, which are hard to see with any kind of direct light for folks with mild or moderate visual issues. In fact the fonts were the skinniest I have ever seen. That is quite an oversight by the publisher. So, there do appear to be other manuals out there, and I have just ordered the Dummies book for Ipad minis. So, if you are not familiar with Apple IOS's and/or have a mini not an Ipad, and you have visual difficulties, then this book will offer some real challenges for you. On the positive side 90% was helpful and it is clear this fellow has some expertise, so I did learn some things. But, I am going with another book due to the irritations mentioned and it's just too hard to read due to shiny paper and skinny fonts, unless positioned just right in the light. They do need to fix the errors, though, even though minor.

An excellent reference source that is easy to use and full of very useful information. Illustrations are clear and concise and the comprehensive index allows you to find whatever topic you are looking for with ease. I purchased four "help" books and this by far was the most informative and the most diverse of all of them.

Using an IPad is not intuitive no matter what we hope. I got my IPad Air2 and was lost when it came to special features and even some basic ones. David Pogue writes in his usual clear, witty, and non-pompous, not geek-tech-speak approach. This is a must help book! I'm glad ....and RELIEVED...that I have it to consult which I do frequently during the day as I'm learning the mysteries of my IPad.

Highly recommended.
