This ebook was a little too late for me because I've already been the victim of identity theft. However, I thought that reading through it might reinforce what I've learned the hard way and give me some ideas for what to do in the future. I did get a few ideas about how to remain safer online. I would recommend this ebook to others who use the internet and currently don't think too much about identity theft. It can and will happen to many of us. By trying to play it safer now, the show more cyber-criminal just might decide not to mess with you and move along to another victim. Be smart and be careful! show less

I bought Kindle Fire HD for Dummies for two reasons - first, to have a printed set of instructions with illustrations that would help me to get on board quickly, and secondly to have a handy reference which I could turn to when encountering difficulties or trying something new. I would rate this book good for the former, ie, intro, and fair at best as an ongoing reference manual. There are many illustrations, perhaps too many. Some are very helpful but others just aren't necessary and seemed show more to me to do nothing but add to the page count. Too often I wished the author had added more detail. The material covered was adequate but I found myself asking, yes but what if....I have discovered a lot on my own, as I believe all users should do, but I feel there is a lot that I am still missing. I had hoped this book would cover all my needs but at this stage I think I will explore a few of the $2-3 "users' guides" to uncover other capabilities. show less

Nice typesetting, but you would have to be more than a dummy to learn anything new from this book. It must have taken about as long to write as it takes to read it!

This guide tells you almost nothing that isn't already in the User guide. I thought it might actually go into detail about some of the more advanced things that it mentions but nope! This book would only be necessary were you giving the device to your granny who has never used a handheld device!
