Android Tablets for Dummies Reviews
-
I did not read this cover to cover, I just checked sections out as I had questions. It was quite helpful. I need to check this out from the library again!
-
It's a good and useful book, but doesn't cover my Amazon "Fire" tablet.
-
Quite useful for an old technophobe like me.

I got this one out of the library as I have just bought my first Android Tablet and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious. The short answer is, not very much, as most of what this book was saying was stuff I had managed to work out for myself by just playing with it. There were a few tips I picked up though, in the sections I read (I skipped over some of the bits that either were not available on my tablet or were stuff that I wasn't likely to use).
However, like all Dummies books, it is written in an amusing and informal way that makes you feel like you've been entertained as well as educated. -
Really basic. Intended for those who don't know much about Android tablets. I have had my tablet for almost a month now and so far, this book hasn't told me anything new that I haven't discovered yet, especially when it comes to the most essential free apps. I find their top 10 list a little too basic for my needs.
-
Whew, usually get a lot out of these books. There is not much more here that you could not get by poking around a little. Not sure if it is the simplicity of tablets in general but I would skip this one if you know a little about your smart phone. If you have a specific question look it up online.
-
A great introduction for beginners. Highly recommended.
-
Most "For Dummies" books have good humor.
Not this one. I found the 328 pages to contain about 100 pages of data. The rest was filler. -
This would be great for a complete beginner to Android technology, but it just didn't really teach me anything I didn't already know. ^_^;
-
Much better then the Android book for Seniors, more usable information.
