"ipod book doing cool stuff with the ipod and itunes music store"
awsome book and very fast delivery thanks

"Great description of features that are not well described in manual"
This is a great little book that provides lots of good information about the iPod that you don't find in the limited manual that comes with your unit. I was surprised to see an old aquaintance of mine (Terry White) mentioned as a contributer to the book. He is a great guy who I knew would go places.

"Excellent book"
I bought this book after seeing it in a Circuit City. I was kicking myself because I didn't buy it right then, I went home, ordered it off of Amazon and I love this book!!! I ordered it for my parents and sister as well and they love it too. It is a simple, well laid out book with a lot of humor and very easy to read. I like the pictures because I am a visual learner. Usually I don't like all the "tech junk" but my 12 year old daughter and I learned a lot about our IPOD's with this book. It is a great book and I like the fact that it is an easy read with straight forward "fixes" I am sure that some of this stuff is in an owners manual, but who wants to read that and try to figure out what they are talking about when you can get right to the point? GREAT BOOK!!!

"Helpful for the 1st time user"
Reading through the book before I first tried to use my iPod made all the difference in the world - both from a comfort level and saving time during the first few days. Since then, some of my issues were resolved, but some do not seem to be addressed in the book, although I've found answers elsewhere. For instance, I listen to audiobooks, but found that when I would turn on the iPod, my place in the book was not saved and I had to relisten to segments to get back to the right point. Logging into iTunes and looking at their online help gave me my answer - press the wheel's middle and you get a way to navigate within chapters. So, if you have never used an iPod before, this book will help orient you - although you may need other resources for troubleshooting.

"An Absolute Must-Have!"
This book has been THE thing that made me go from hating my iPod to LOVING it! I wasn't planning on getting an iPod; it was given to me as a gift. I am pretty good with computers and technology in general, but I really had a hard time figuring out some of the basics with the iPod! (Oh, I know... Apple stuff is all supposed to be so "intuitive"-- well, I didn't find it to be so!)

This book is PERFECT. Every little thing you might want to figure out how to do on your iPod (or in iTunes) is laid out simply, with great pictures and screen prints so you can SEE what the author's talking about. And author Scott Kelby throws in liberal doses of humor to make it all the more enjoyable.

Best of all, each topic is just ONE PAGE LONG. Want to know how to do something? Go to that one page, read it, and you've got it! No wading through long, boring chapters of info, or dry manuals.

Topics go from the utterly basic (but necessary) "Turning Your iPod on and Off" (there is no "On/Off" button, you know!), and "Turning on the Backlight" to the more complicated "Moving Playlists Between Computers" and "Editing a Song's Start/End Points"-- the things that will really give you great enjoyment once you figure them out!

And did I mention each topic is ONLY ONE PAGE? That's the key to this great book. I highly recommend it! We keep it in a drawer right next to our computer and go back to it again and again.

One last thing: my nine-year-old has read the book from cover-to-cover, and is now quite the expert on his iPod! The perfect handbook for any age, and for any technological level. (Also covers all models of iPod).
