Summary: "Convenient format, very helpful"
I really like being able to read this kind of guide on my Kindle. Lots of good information in this book for the mature computer user who faces a learning curve. Definitely worth the money!

Summary: "Can you ship my item already?"
Ordered this item on August 23. I was given an expected delivery date of September 1. Normally my items come well before the expected date, but not this one. It was supposed to be a gift for my dad's birthday, too bad that has come and gone. Thanks a ton guys. I really appreciate your horrible service. It is now September 1 and again no package. I received an email confirmation identifying that it was shipped on Wednesday August 25th. On the 28th, I called and was told it was shipped on Wednesday August 25th, but was sitting in the warehouse. How is it possible for something to be shipped but still be sitting in the warehouse? The customer service rep was just as confused as I was. This is your business...get it together. You shouldn't be confused. It is now a week after it has supposedly shipped, so why am I still here without my gift for my dad? I wish I could review the book, but can't seem to get past the incompetence in shipping.
Update: September 3rd....still no package. Great service guys. Keep up the good work!

Summary: "Great explanations!"
Computers for Seniors for Dummies fills in the gaps for those of us who did not grow up with computers and have no idea what the terminology means. I explains clearly what to do and when to do it. Buying this book has saved our younger friends and relatives countless hours of being bothered by us for information. So glad we figured out how to buy it and look forward to receiving The Internet for Seniors for Dummies.
