Recommended Books

Listed below are great sources of in-depth information aimed at several levels of nontechnical computer users, including those who are starting to become technical. If you click on them, you will open a window for that book at Barnes & Noble. Most are printed books - any ebooks will be noted as such. By the way, if you have Windows 2000 or later, your computer is already equipped to read many ebooks out loud - the main reason I am looking forward to more ebooks coming out in the future!
