Windows 7 user guide comparison

Exactly.

Books are great.

Can be carried around easily - glanced at in odd momets on the train , waiting for a train ( a popular British pastime - miilions of man hours spent doing it ), etc.

These kindle type things have their place - but real books are always best.

Besides the Tutorials one can always go to Amazon and search "books" "Windows 7"

I agree with using ALL sources to learn something, and I am also a die hard "how-to" manual user. Here are some suggestions: For me, the BEST source is always the manufacturer's own manual, so my first choice is to obtain any information about Windows 7 from Microsoft itself.

1. Windows 7 Secrets by Paul Thurrott - Windows 7 Secrets - Paul Thurrott – Amazon.com
2. Within Windows | John Mueller's Professional Windows 7 Development
3. Windows 7: The Missing Manual - David Pogue – Amazon.com
4. Windows® 7 Inside Out by Ed Bott

Plus, an on-line source of help from Microsoft - “Windows 7 Product Guide” – Download here

I am reading the Missing Manual by David Pogue and so is our Netwoek Manager. Very good book.

I am reding the Missing Manual by David Pogue and so is our Network Manager. Very good book

There are tons of useful info right here on SevenForums, which is more than you can find in any 1 book.

Yes, of course there's plenty of available information here, and on other sources on-line. But sometimes you just want to look up something in a BOOK, perhaps to add your own notes to the information or highlight important text, etc. -- all things that are much harder to do when you've downloaded a file that may or may not be editable.

And sometimes you want to read this information when you're not in front of any computer --- so you need a hard-copy of the information, for example, in a BOOK.
