Where other big Internet books covered the software (browsers, email clients, newsreaders, FTP clients, etc.) and smaller books covered individual topics (online investing, online shopping, online auctions, etc.), this book covers multiple individual end user activities. Topics range from getting connected-and getting connected faster-to online shopping and downloading MP3 files. In short, whatever users want to do online, they'll find in this book-without having to wade through hundreds of pages of software-specific instruction.
