"AARP Tablets: Tech to Connect" - Review

"AARP Tablets: Tech to Connect" is a good resource for seniors wanting to learn more about tablet computing. This will not be very useful to those that have any hands on experience with tablets, but they are not the target audience for this straight forward guide. My mother has recently hinted at wanting a Kindle Fire or an iPad. I love my mother very much but this scares me to death considering the difficulties experienced walking her through simple PC issues, so thought this might be the right choice to see if she would be able to master one. The book is well written and is informative without resorting to a lot of overwhelming jargon. I liked the format and step-by-step approach which clearly explains tablets and their uses. The text is somewhat smaller than expected, but not so much as to be problematic with aid of good reading glasses. This book hasn't changed my mother's mind about wanting a tablet but it has convinced me that at least I might not be tied to the phone being her "tech support". Recommended! CFH
