The four-colour printed book was written for the users of the target group 50Plus, who already worked with computers, but have no experience with Android devices, or finally want to know more about it. The title takes into account Android 5.x (Lollipop), Android 6.x (Marshmallow) but can also be used for Android 4.4 (Kitkat) or Androdi 7.x (Nougat).

The book covers all relevant topics. From the first turn on and
basic knowledge of the important applications of telephony, e-mails and
Surfing, the large theme area of entertainment (photos, music, videos) to
to customize the Android settings according to your ideas, everything will be
easy to understand, so you can play easily with your Android smartphone
Or a tablet.

From the content:

  • Android entry: Overview and first steps
  • Operation: Everything you need to know about Android
  • Install and manage apps
  • Surfing and Mailing
  • Capture, manage and share photos and videos with your PC
  • Entertainment: Music, videos, e-books

  • Interesting and useful apps: Notes, route planning, timetables,

Note: The book reflects the Android environment present when writing the manuscript. Google not only releases new Android versions, but also updates the described apps often within a few weeks. Of course, the book can never depict such changes that occur after printing. In most cases, however, as an Android user, you should also get along with the instructions in the book with newer app versions.

Tip: Until 26.12.2016 (24:00) there will be a competition in which three copies will be raffled. And here is also a raffle until 26.12.2016.

    How do I set up my tablet

      Turn on and then go through the pages of the Android setup and select the appropriate settings or enter. Is roughly outlined in the book – if necessary, seek on-site support from the dealer when e-mail account data, etc., are unknown.

    I have to admit that I have only very reluctantly approached the subject of Android. – But because Win 7 has now flew out of support and my beautiful old netbook has to stay offline since then, it needed a tablet as a replacement …

    With this very good book (reissue autumn 2019) the entry went completely smoothly and very quickly.
    Thank you very much, dear Mr Born!
    Best regards
