Calling all iPad or Android Tablet owners

If you ever find your tablet frustratin­g, aren't quite sure how to do things or just think you might not be getting all your should from it, read on...

Tablets are becoming hugely popular. And no wonder - they’re lighter and easier to carry around than a PC. You can sit in a comfy armchair and browse the web or even video call your family around the world. They’re easier to use than PCs in lots of ways, too. But there’s a catch. In fact, two

Catch number 1: They’re different from PCs. So if you already know how to use a PC, you have to start again. Catch number 2 (the big one!): There are lots of important features that are “hidden”. There’s no button for them, saying “click here”. And you simply can’t work it out. You need to know to slide the screen from the left, or drag the thingyme-bob to the right. Someone needs to tell you these things – it’s just not possible to work it out as you wouldn’t even know they’re there!

If I ran the world... If I ran the world, these devices would come with a proper manual. But when they do come with a manual, it’s on the device, so you can only get at it if you already know how to use the thing! And when you do get at it, it’s usually written assuming you already know how to use it - which makes it a bit pointless. That’s why I’ve written these books: iPads One Step at a Time and Android Tablets One Step at a Time (ideal for all Android

tablets). Plain English - that’s not all... They explain how to use the device, in plain simple language, with pictures of the screen showing exactly where to tap or slide your fingers. No Jargon!

Only Half the Story... That’s only half the story, but I don’t have room to explain what I mean by that here. So I’ve put together full informatio­n on the books - who they’re for, what they cover and so on. What’s more, the books also come with a small free gift – no room to explain that here, either!

“Better than WHSmith’s Best”? As soon as these books came out, I started getting comments like...

“Thank you for producing such a superb book – it is really helping me. I had bought one (a book) in WH Smiths a short while ago and couldn’t get on with it at all!” -

J.S. and “I am delighted with the new book on tablets, so many things I didn’t understand before, being of the ‘retired brigade’ it’s a great help.” – Doreen Wadsworth Don’t buy now, do this instead Anyway, don’t buy now.
