Introduction

Welcome to the 21st century. Computers? Forget them! They’re old, heavy, clunky, and not designed with the modern lifestyle in mind. Instead, you need to follow the trends and get a tablet, a mobile communications gizmo — something you can take with you to stay connected wherever you are. That device is the Nexus 7.

As a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 tablet owner, or someone who’s interested in purchasing the device, you obviously want to get the most from your technology. It can be intimidating. It can be frustrating. No matter what, your experience can be made better by leisurely reading the book you have in your hands.

About This Book

This book was written to help you get the most from your Nexus tablet’s potential. It’s a reference. Each chapter covers a specific topic, and the sections within each chapter address an issue related to the topic. Definitely, you don’t have to read this book from front to back. In fact, I forbid you to do so.

The overall idea for this book is to show how things are done on the tablet and to help you get the most from the device without overwhelming you with information or intimidating you into despair.
