I read a much newer edition that covers Nougat, but it doesn't seem to be listed here yet. Very easy to understand, and accessible to anyone - even this twenty-something. (Goodness knows the little booklet you get with the tablet is of little help.)

Only Android tablet book my local library had, covers Jelly Bean, I have Kit Kat but there are enough similarities to make it an ok intro.

I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to anything to do with computers, so these series of books do exactly as they say on the tin!
