Book Reviews of The Zune Pocket Guide
Book Review: The manual that should have come with the Zune - very basic
Summary: 4 Stars
The Zune Pocket Guide is very well written. But the title tells it all - it is a pocket guide. Simple, basic and to the point. I had anticipated the guide to be pretty basic, with some advanced tips toward the end. I was however disappointed to discover that it is very basic. I'm still reading through it - but there appears to be NOTHING that I couldn't figure out on my own about the Zune. I am technically inclined, but Microsoft products also tend to be fairly user friendly - as in, if you play around enough you can figure it out. (I've probably just opened myself up for a lot of attacks on that comment.) One thing ALL Microsoft products lack though is a decent user manual. Granted, enough play and you can figure their products out. But some people out there are afraid to play, so I really wish MS would spend just a little extra and include manuals that are a little thicker than the 4 page booklets they have been using (and that only include all those safety warnings we all know and don't read). However, The Zune Pocket Guide by Farkas is just that. It IS the manual that MS should have included with the Zunes. Basic, straightforward and simple to follow. Great starting point for anyone who is not a Techno-Geek (have I just shown my age with that comment?). The entire book appears to be the manual written for the Zune that somewhere along the line got rejected before the release date - it even includes a fair amount of publicity for the Zune accessories available at the press time. So far, I've only found 2 useful pieces of information in it - info about the first sync erasing all the preloaded media on your Zune and the difference between basic and detailed online status. I'm only half way through the book, but I don't anticipate learning much more. Check it out from the library if you have figured out most of the Zune workings. Buy it if you are looking for more info before buying a Zune or if you are technically impaired.
