Mac OS X Lion No Fluff Guide eBook Chris Kennedy
I was quite surprised at the amount of well organized information packed into this one, especially for the price. I'm also converting to Lion from Snow Leopard, so some of the Mac information was not new, but the new aspects are well handled. I was having a Time Machine issue, which was very well explained, as were the new features and many things I never really learned about the last operating system.Of course, on my K3, gray scale screen shots are not what one would hope for, but in the Kindle for PC and Kindle for the Mac apps the book is beautiful. Well laid out and illustrated as well as well thought out. [When I bought this and posted the review, the Kindle for Mac app had not caught up with Lion. The new K for Mac update was posted the same day].
I think the target audience for this will be new and mid range users, not the power user folks, but this is one of the best computer books I've picked up for the intended audience. I was very pleased to see it so soon after Lion came out.

Mac OS X Lion 102
I have been using Snow Leopard and looked forward to the new Lion OS, and figured I would need a book giving me advice and hints about how to use the new OS features...this book is just a print out of the dry, wordy and complex manual that Appke distributes.
No advice, no "hints", scant photos, and a waste of time to go through all the pages.
The absence of comments about a great Preview function added, allowing the capture of your signature for direct use in PDF documents, is disappointing. Many books about Lion show that...
