Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet Reviews

It is written in a non-threatening, folksy style. It is not a technical manual by any means. It is more of a "hold you by the hand" and tell you what every menu option means and what it does. I can see that this would be very helpful and reassuring to people who may be intimidated by the new technology of the Fire. Nicely done, Bufo! 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful: For the non-Droids among us, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet (Kindle Edition) If you are an experienced Droid user, or even an experienced techie, this handbook may be too simplistic to be of benefit. I'm not a techie,* and found this much more useful than the Fire's manual (although, to Amazon's credit, it has some additional help on the Fire buried in various "use" sections, assuming you can locate them).This guidebook contains descriptions of tablet basics. It also includes specific controls on the Fire, what the options are, and how to access them. It also includes descriptions of various content categories for the Fire, including applications (or "apps") and the internet. The pointer to the Pulse app, preinstalled on the Fire, was worth the price of the book for me. Is there more to be said on the operation of the Fire? Sure. I've still got questions myself. But this will get you started with some confidence. * By way of context, I had to locate and download my iPod Touch's user manual before I could figure...

Bufo's new book, published five days after taking delivery of the Fire, contains more useful information than that found in Amazon's guide.The technique of "splinterview," in which Bufo interviews Bufo, works extremely well. With splinterview, Bufo, the interviewer asks a question about the Fire and then Bufo, the author responds. Topics are covered in a non-intimidating easy-to-understand format. Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet is a valuable tool for Kindle Fire owners who are well-versed in technology and those who are not. Everyone who reads Bufo's book will learn from it. |
