Android Tablets Made Simple

We've got 15 copies of Android Tablets Made Simple by Marziah Karch to give away to you fine, oustanding Android Central Readers. So, let's give some away. Just leave a comment in this post and we'll pick 15 of 'em at random. This one's U.S. only (don't worry, we'll have something for you international folks on Friday), and we'll shut it down at the end of today. Good luck!

Uncle Eliot says:

Please, please, please send me a copy. My wife dropped a bombshell...she wants a Samsung Tab 10.1. This happened not so long after I introduced her to, and she got, a smartphone (Droid X2) I've lost my life...I am the consultant in residence. All day and night I get questions about how to do this and that. I can only imagine what my life will be like after she gets the tablet. You must save me. The book will be her guide. I'll still be around to help but the book will give me my life back. As an added benefit, I probably will learn some stuff too if my wife will let me borrow it.

Lv#AC says:

Does this include end depth technical spec's for the tablets that it covers? I would like to have something that goes into that in detail, not just a how-to, it does look like a good read though. So Sign me up.

Many Thanks and Happy Holidays.
