Printed Tablet Guides for Beginners & Seniors

We provide professionally printed beginner guides for iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets. Our guides are written specifically for seniors and first-time users — not reprints of manufacturer PDFs, but original books created by experienced instructors who understand the challenges new tablet users face.

What we provide

  • Original beginner guides: written in plain English with no jargon or technical assumptions.
  • Large, easy-to-read text: no squinting required.
  • Step-by-step instructions: broken down into simple, numbered steps.
  • Helpful screenshots: showing exactly what to expect on screen.
  • Spiral binding: lies flat on the table while you follow along.
  • Covers included: transparent front cover and durable card back.

What you'll learn

  • Browsing the internet confidently
  • Sending emails and messages
  • Using WhatsApp for free messaging and video calls
  • Taking and managing photos
  • Backing up safely with Google Photos or iCloud
  • Staying safe online — avoiding scams and protecting yourself
  • Customising your tablet for comfort (larger text, volume, notifications)

  • Distraction-free: learn without notifications or screen fatigue.
