Android Smartphones Made Easy: The Beginners Guide Made For Beginners

First of all, the physical book is too big. The font is big and the photos are gigantic. And there's not much in there. Take the chapter on security, for example (likely the most important chapter in any book on cell phones). There's only 62 SENTENCES in the entire chapter. I have books on my shelves that have 62 PAGES in a chapter. And zero mention of VPN...zero. I was also hoping for something on the folder system within my phone, which I find confusing. But there's nothing.

east to read and illustrations very helpful

Covers the basic of setting up your smart phone and some of the more common features and functions of most phones . If you want to know more about your particular phone I would either suggest doing some in depth online research or finding a book about your phone.

I bought this for a pensioner who'd never owned a smartphone before. I had a quick look through the pages before I handed the book over and it didn't seem to be basic enough. Although the book was classed as second hand it was in 'as new' condition. I was very impressed by this.

I wanted to use this book to teach a couple of people how to use their Android phones. Colorful illustrations would help although I know that would have increased the cost greatly. As I read through it to prepare for using it, I noticed that some portions were hard for me to understand and I skipped over those as well as some instructions that I felt the average user would probably not need. I am going to attempt to use it, but I don't feel confident with some of the content. It is not a bad reference guide as a whole though.
