I have yet to buy a Kindle, as I read all of my books on "Kindle for PC" at present.  However, I am looking forward to owning one very soon.  One thing that is important to me is research; learning what I need to know before hand from different sources.  I have read and reviewed another book on this topic.  Now, I w ant to share with you my thoughts on Mr. Garcia's book.This guide is well done.  As Mr. Garcia himself mentions right off the bat, covering everything in a guide is nearly unimaginable.  I love his honesty and was pleased with everything I read from that point forward.Though the Kindle is a "baby" in the world of electronics, this "baby" has grown up fast.  Mr. Garcia gives you a glimpse in to Kindle's history, the "family" and name before digging in to the meat and potatoes, so to speak.Mr. Garcia covers the basic need to know information that is current, such as Hardware and Software, information about Amazon Prime, accessories such as a protective case, screen protector, wall charger, stand and so on.  These tidbits give me an idea of what accessories I will need and then I can research costs from there.Then, there is the Kindle Adventure (I really enjoy Mr. Garcia's writing in this guide).  How to use the Kindle.  I don't assume I will know, nor will others, if this is a first time tablet ownership situation.  Tapping, swiping, flicking, two-finger spread, pinch, typing... all of these things can be easily frustrating if one is not aware of them at first.And, of course, my favorite part... BOOKS!  Reading on a Kindle is something I cannot wait to do.  But, I also found out there is more than just books.  I look forward to shows & movies as well as social networking.  Mr. Garcia also provides a list of 30 apps that you may want to check out...I know I do.  Finally, he provides troubleshooting and a glossary.All in all, a very thorough guide without being a technical manual!  LOL  I liked the way the book was laid out, the photos were clear and relevant.  The style was fun and this guide contained everything a new Kindle owner would want to know.  I liked it very much.  It convinced me further that the Kindle Fire is a MUST.  Thank you Mr. Garcia!
