Book:  iPad 2 For Seniors For Dummies by Nancy C. Muir

The Dummies books have been one of the most helpful series in well over a decade providing much needed simplified help covering a massive array of topics.  Although I’m not a senior citizen I felt this book would be helpful for seniors who have the iPad 2 or will be receiving it as a gift this Christmas and are trying to gain a better understanding of new technology. 

iPad 2 for Seniors for Dummies guides the user through how to choose the right iPad, features for those have challenges with hearing or vision, how the iPad can locate itself, in addition to keep track of tasks and appointment, and troubleshooting tips.
