Synopsis
This e-book is for people who want to get the most from the latest in tablet technology. The Amazon tablet aims at the iPad with both barrels. Just like Apple's iTunes, Amazon has a large music and video store, a growing app store, a massive library of e-books, and a large customer database complete with stored credit card information for fast, one-click buying. The Amazon tablet is the new tablet to beat. There is a compelling draw to such technology, and an obvious popularity. Being new as both a product and a technology, the Amazon tablet requires careful explaining. This book documents the features of the Amazon tablet, approaching them from the point of view of a smart person who is intimidated by the technology and the lack of online support. All topics for the Amazon tablet are covered. The reader will want to keep this book close at hand, referring to it often as they explore the many features of their Amazon tablet.
