$10 ? Are you kidding me???

How to use the most intuitive and user friendly OS for 10$? How stupid one must be?

Our iPad Starter Guide, which is a basic how-to, is just $2 on the iBookstore. The Superguide is more about providing you with a compendium than basic tips. We go through every single app that ships with your iPad, some that don't, and offer tips, tricks, and how-tos for working with your device. (For instance, there's a chapter devoted to getting music, movies, ringtones, and books that you own but may not have bought via iTunes onto your iPad.) If that's not worth $10 to you, then by all means, don't buy it! But we put a lot of effort and information into the book, and we think it's worth that much.

The self-entitlement mentality inflicted on content creators must be getting old by now. The same bunch of peeps who moan about paying 10 dollars for an app which has had the same time and effort as a desktop app selling for several times as much.

The Macworld & PC World Superguides represent tremendous value for money. Much less than a monthly "computer comic" in the UK.
Also excellent value are the Take Control Books & Missing Manuals ($25 for latest iPad but existing customers get 50% Discount).
People buy manuals etc for all sorts of reasons.

Macworld - keep up the good work.

As for all the Apps, I'm constantly amazed by two things:
1. How inexpensive they are (go buy Lotus 1-2-3 or MS Office)
2. The incredible number of whingers & moaners banging on about price.

Ok, sorry to be another "Crybaby" about the $10 for the " New iPad Super Guide" but really! Garage Band - $5, iPhoto - $5 many good iOS aps $5 or less. I have purchased a couple of these Super Guides and though some of the info was a revalation to me they have not been a good value for price paid. Sorry folks but I will not fall for this any longer. I have many iOS apps that have served me well that were either free or $.99 or slightly more. Also as a Macworld insider, shouldn't we get a better value on Macworld offers? I'm sure I'm going to get blasted for this post but I don't care. I want Macworld to take notice. And that is all I gotta say about that!

I bought this iPad Superguide on the Kindle Store.
Is it possible to print parts of it without resorting to Screen Shots?
Which other format should I have choosen in order to be able to print parts of the Guide?

Thanks
