Rating  - Do not give this guy your e-mail address! He just spammed me.
This book was my first Kindle purchase, because I was looking for some info on how to use the device. Little did I know how this seemingly helpful chap would misuse my e-mail address to promote his political ideology!
The book is "OK" -- it covers the basics, and gets you to the point where you can use the fundamental features, but it does not go too much further. On the book's content alone, I would maybe give it 2-1/2 stars.
I then went on to follow his suggestion of adding my e-mail address to his list. He claimed that he would be sending alerts when his Kindle book was updated.
Surprised was my reaction this morning when I opened a lengthy e-mail from Stephen Windwalker (yes, it was a real e-mail from him) in which he wrote an extensive note about the importance of buying a Kindle book that paints a certain female candidate for VP in a very negative light.
I have read several books and articles about that particular candidate -- enough to realize what is agenda-driven and what is detached accounting of the facts. The rag this Windwalker guy is pushing is something that clearly advances one particular political opinion.
Whether you agree with Windwalker's viewpoint or not, how dare he mis-use my e-mail address to send me his thinly-veiled political opinions!
I would therefore recommend find an alternative source of Kindle information, and definitely not providing your e-mail address to this guy. The "sheep in wolves' clothing" image comes to mind.
Rating  - Fabulous guide
Very user friendly and easy to read. I wouldn't be using my Kindle without it.
Rating - I've learned things I never would have on my own
I loved the Kindle from the moment I took off the wrappings, but had no idea what else it could do beside being a book until I read Stephen's book. And, he means it when he says "if you get stuck, send me an email." He responded to my pleas for help within minutes, and he got me 'un-stuck' more than once.

Rating - Good reference material
Seems people either love this material or hate it. When I buy something new I try and find something to use besides what the owners' guide. The Kindle is a remarkable piece of hardware, and the author has listed a lot of things it can do not mentioned in the materials that Amazon makes available, which is quite good. The reason I decided to spend the money for the Kindle was to read, not trying to figure out all the side goodies in it. It is worth far more than the cost.
Rating - Excellant book on the Kindle
Author provides simple instructions which will help you learn all that our mighty Kindle can do. Since I am far from being a computer guru the book has been just what I needed to learn to get the most from Kindle, without talking down to the reader.
