Super-fast processors, streamlined Internet access, and free productivity and entertainment apps make Apple’s new iPads the hottest tablets around. But to get the most from them, you need an owner’s manual up to the task. That’s where this bestselling guide comes in. You’ll quickly learn how to import, create, and play back media; shop wirelessly; sync content across devices; keep in touch over the Internet; and even take care of business.

It's early yet — I've only had the book a few days, but I've already learned a couple of helpful tricks! The coolest trick so far was learning how to split the tap-type keyboard when it appears, so that it's easy to thumb-type while holding the iPad (regular size especially) in your hands.
Biersdorf tries to hard to be linguistically cool, hip, slangy and with-it. She does not seem to want to explain things that could be explained while she's on a subject. For instance, how does one delete browser-bookmarked icons? They don't come up with delete-x's and jiggle like the app icons do. In many cases, the book's illustrations need to be larger: some of the text in these graphics are simply too tiny to read.
There is an astonishing lot to learn about with iPads, and she does give useful explanations, although many of them could be clearer and more detailed. The slick stock and color pictures are no substitute for the large clear text type in the Pogue-written books, and she is certainly not entertaining the way Pogue is, which certainly makes "the medicine go down."
I may come back later to revise this review. Otherwise, I await with interest the reviews of other users. So far, I withhold final judgment.

I agree with Abi. For a user new to the iPad (v7), this book leaves a lot to be desired. She used text and pages from a previous version, showing a screen that show an iPad Mini? Her explanation of how to use iTunes to sync IE bookmarks with the iPad was the final straw. Literally following her text directions for the task was frustratingly unsuccessful. I returned the book.
