Have been using my Kindle for a few months now, but have never taken the time to fully read the large kindle manual I downloaded.  Consider myself fairly knowledgeable about certain operations& functions, bit there are also big knowledge gaps.  While this guide is pretty basic in its orientation (not for advanced users), it does manage to intermingle some not-so- basic tips among the truly elementary.  The info on keyboard shortcuts was something new to me for example, &while the explanation didn't go far enough in describing the full versatility of holding & pressing letters to jump from letters to numbers to symbols, I was able to use the concept to explore my keyboard & learn to turn a letter into a symbol with one "touch& hold" or use a slightly longer "touch & hold" that would produce a drop-down of character options.  Some of the info was less than 100% accurate such as the info on changing from mobile to desktop view in Silk: on my Kindle, the default setting is "automatic", and not "mobile" as stated by the author - but again, learning that I could change the view was a useful tip in itself.  In summary, I found several (but by no means all) of the tips provided in this book useful.  Whatever limitations existed in accuracy or thoroughness were far outweighed by the benefits inherent in the ideas presented.
