If you are a senior who really wants to get a tablet and are thinking about an Apple product, "iPads for the Older and Wiser" is a great book.
I received it prior to purchasing my iPad mini and
the very first chapter saved me from making an expensive mistake. I had thought
that the cheapest model would be good enough for me in this learning stage.
However, under the section entitled “which generation if iPad to choose” I
discovered that the cheaper model did not have a Retina Display. Retina display
enables text and images to be much sharper, and high definition videos can be
played at their full quality on these models. Not only that, but the camera on
the cheaper model is not as good as the one on the iPad mini with Retina
Display. So that was important to me.
The book has an excellent selection of chapters
dealing with things such as ‘browsing the web,’ ‘adding music and video,’
‘using apps on your iPad,’ and a very important chapter on ‘finding your way
with Maps.’ Apple has replaced Google Maps with its own Apple Maps or you can
download the Google Maps App if you prefer. But Apple Maps works with Siri and
has a great 3D view section called FlyOver that works as well.
At the end of each chapter is a Summary and a
section called Brain Training, which helps to reaffirm all the information in
that chapter. As you go through the book, you keep adding to the knowledge and
the skills you’ve already acquired.
As far as I’m concerned, this little manual is the
best thing since apple pie.
