very, very basic user manual

This booklet is only good for a novice.  I had hoped it would have much more information than it did.  Frankly, this should be loaded on the Fire prior to sale, as it only offers the most basic information.  It was not at all what I expected.

Good for beginners. Not for programmers or people who have already worked with Dynamics CRM

This book is intended for the person who is starting to use the software for the first time. It is not user friendly to a user who is attempting to reference a specific command or procedure.

Granted the author warned its readers that the first chapter is basic information (benefits of memory cards vs film, what is a histogram, what is ISO, what is noise..), but after reading 3 chapters down - I can't help but feel I am reading a re-hash of the instruction manual that came with the camera.  Very little insights, very basic information - very disappointing.

Canon's Mark II came with 21 custom functions - and this guide manage to present that information in 9 pages which feels like a reprint of the instruction manual.  If you are hoping for some insights or examples of how these are used - this magic lantern guide is not it.

To illustrate how basic the information presented in this book - I managed to read the whole book in one sitting - quickly reading through what I feel I have already read in the instruction manual.

The reviews speak about "packed with diagrams, instructions and tips."  The only thing it really have are reprints of instructions.  Diagrams are the same basic diagrams you get with the camera guide; and the tips are less than a dozen (most of which can be considered 'common knowledge' for anyone interested in buying a camera of this calibre).  The sample pictures are uninspired with very little useful information for a new owner of the camera.

I have own and read many Magic Lantern guides in the past.  This is by far, one of the least impressive ones.  Too bad.  I wish I could get my money back.

This is an easy to understand book, like the OS itself. However, it's not even close to definitive. It's only an introduction and not very useful, by itself.

Good book for the beginner, but has very little for the advanced user to pick up new tips and ideas.

This "manual" didn't go into the specifics I was looking for but just hit the most basic (wi-fi, etc).  I was very disappointed.

Seems to work well, however the "user manual" is horrible. Written in broken English, and no quick start guide to easily get the Bluetooth configured. Also, the manual is in such small font, I need I magnifying glass to read it.

A lot of stuff is very general and print is tiny

As a basic high level overview, it's just that. If you are looking for a read it/try it approach to learning, this is not it. The documentation does not quite match the included write scripts. The printed scripts are incomplete, fragmented and do not all run. You will need to download their completed and functional scripts from their github site.  That's if you want to see the examples in action. As a training aid for beginners, this book falls short.

This was really basic and some of what I wanted to do required more information that was available in Android Tablets for Dummies.

The only draw back so far is the user manual.  Difficult to understand.

I just bought a new Kindle HDX. Since there was no manual that came with the Kindle, I immediately did a search on Amazon, hoping to find such an animal. That's how I wound up purchasing this book for 99 cents, along with several other simliarly-priced "complete guides" to the new HDs. Well...

There is no way I would consider this book to be "complete!" It's about as rudimentary as one could get. It's absolutely missing any coverage in depth about anything, especially concerning newer features. You will learn how to turn it on, charge it, and buy aps in the Amazon store, but not much else.

Bottom line: is it worth the price? If you're an absolute newbie and this is your first Kindle, then "perhaps" or "maybe, with some reservations." For me, who over the years has owned an original B&W Kindle reader, then a Kindle Fire when it first came out, and now the new Kindle Fire HDX, I needed something a lot more detailed and informative. As a final little gripe, I discovered some differences between menu directions in this book (meager as they were) and the menus I'm seeing on my new Kindle. Changes in the Kindle UI? -- or an already out-of-date book?

FYI, I couldn't see where I got 99 cents worth of knowledge out of this book, so I returned it to Amazon for a full refund. Caveat emptor!

Very basic use not designed for the advanced user or machinist

This is pretty much just a re-hash of man pages for system calls.
It does little to explain program development in any detail, and if you had any issues it would not be much help.
You could do as well or better by just searching for on line references.
Prefer "The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook" to this book.

To be fair, with my rating, as above, I'm venting my frustrations, here, with the totally inadequate manual that comes with this device. This unit may be really great, but I can't tell, because of the almost indecipherable manual. That manual has 152 pages and, in its great verbosity, it explains, very poorly, how to operate this unit.  Yeah, this thing can do just about everything except cook you a gourmet meal, I guess, BUT, you need to slog through pages and pages of material to even begin to approach a rudimentary grasp of its mind-boggling features.  Going through the menus are incredibly tough and not exactly intuitive.  Some are counter-intuitive:  One button does one thing in one mode and something totally unrelated in another mode.  The manual just confuses you by slapping everything together. The "support" from the manufacturer is that in name only.  Going to their website you will find there basically is no support, save the horrible manual that you can download.  Have you ever been to Jamaica and tried to figure out what the locals are saying, right to your face, in Patois? Frustrating as hell.  You can make out many of the words but, to save your life, you cannot grasp the meaning of what's being said to you.  That is what the manual is like, in many cases.  There is hope, though.  Go to the main user group sites out there. They will help you, greatly.  Do go to them before you start tearing your hair out in frustration.  (I had the links in my original review, but Amazon pulled them.  Nice.) It is very telling that support groups exist for this line of recording devices.  What comes through in most postings is that scores of folks cannot use the manual to figure out much about the unit.  Once I have a good understanding of how to use this unit, I'll update, here. UPDATE: 5/10/12:  OK, I added another star.  While the manual is terrible, I am now figuring things out for myself and I'm starting to like this unit, more.  Expect another update once I teach myself how to use the multitrack features. UPDATE: 8/16/12:  I have now given this unit 5 stars.  I am using it in multitrack mode to make excellent quality demos.  It does the job in very fine fashion.  It is worth repeating that the manual is very frustrating to use. After having it for a few months, though, you will learn, on your own, as I have, how to navigate the menus, and that will greatly increase your enjoyment of this unit.
