[Shellie (Layers of Thought) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is really a rewrite of the actual iPod manual that can be found online. It is however, easier to look at as well as to find information. It has a cute format with nice pictures, definitely better than reading the manual only more expensive. It doesn't have detailed information on transferring data from one computer to another or new computer or if you have more than one iPod. Which is what I was specifically looking for.

I used this book when I bought my ipod. It has good instructions that are very easy to understand and helps navigate itunes as well. I only used this book and didn't even open the manual that came with the ipod.

I know it's funny that I would put this on my list but my wonderful husband bought me an ipod for Christmas a couple of years ago and this book has been a life saver...simple, easy to read, easy to use...I highly recommend it.
