Lots of good basic stuff, just what this tablet newbie wanted, By Bill H (Janesville, WI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Google Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 (Paperback)
Look elsewhere for more advanced stuff if you have a lot experience with tablets or smartphones. I like using a three button mouse, and tablets don't, so I needed help getting comfortable with this new (for me) user interface. Also some coverage for the Nexus 10 for which not much has been published yet. A lot of good content (300 pages) and not much fluff. Many useful topics are covered (mostly about the popular apps). Clear text fonts and pix so easy on the eyes. In sum, a great help in getting me comfortable with my new Nexus 10.

The best book I've seen on using my Nexus 10. The others all assume a familiarity with how "smart" phones, etc. work. This book starts at the beginning with lots of pictures. The explanations are clear and useful. This is by far the best.
