This is a great book and I think it is very simple and easy to understand. I am a kid and I still understand it. I was able to get a lot out of this book.

Indispensable aid to understanding the iPhone. The authors point out little tips and tricks that you might never discover on your own, like the "slide" to get to the right key on the keyboard or indeed on the other keyboard screen, and ancillary menus on additional menu pages. I sat with the workbook for several sittings, phone in hand, to make sure that I can get the most out of my iPhone.
