Sadly, I'm not as tech savvy as I used to be in my youth. I've been seeing how much fun others are having using Roku and similar devices, but watching them do their setups I was worried about my own frustration factor kicking in.These devices aren't cheap to begin with, and therefore not something you want to buy and then give up on because you can't get it working.I'd heard of Chromecast and its ingenious dongle, but again, wasn't sure if it was for me.  Much less expensive than the other devices I was tempted to buy, but kept putting it off, never able to find enough information to get me in my comfort zone.Enter this e-book, "Chromecast User Guide: Newbie to Expert in 1 Hour"--wow, everything I had been wanting to know about the Chromecast  and how it works!  The guide is written in a conversational manner, very easy to understand, even for the tech intimidated.  The information provided is exceptional, not only walking you through setup, but also pointing out various apps, games and work-arounds for various devices to broaden the functionality of the Chromecast, far beyond entertainment only.The book was perfectly priced for someone like me who was curious about the Chromecast, but not quite ready to buy even given the device's low cost.  It answered all my existing questions and opened my eyes to the versatility of the technology.  Turns out I've already got everything I need to use Chromecast; now I can buy one with confidence.I'd recommend this book to anyone remotely interested in Chromecast and streaming.  While of course it is aimed at helping the new user get the most out of their purchase, it also functions as enlightenment and encouragement for those of us sitting on the fence to take the plunge.
