For Dummies Books Are A Waste Of Money

  Every time I go to Ollie's Bargain Outlet, I tend to look at the shelf full of those For Dummies series books. I notice every time that they never move, People just don't buy these For Dummies books like they used to anymore. It's not 1998 anymore so the tech For Dummies Books has already met it's obsolescence.
Worst For Dummies book ever
   For example, Facebook For Dummies, that book is obsolete the day it gets published due to all of the constant changes that Facebook makes to their site. Why bother to write a For Dummies book if it is going to be obsolete the moment it is published? Plus once they are obsolete nobody even wants them anymore.
   Now here is a solution to printing these books. Instead of making a printed version, they should just release an iPad or Kindle version of the books. That way, they save trees and paper and ink. This will also save retailers money and shelf space for something that will at least sell.  Now I am not for the For Dummies books at all. They are a huge waste of money that eventually will go down the drain when the newest edition of the topic the books are for such as eBay or Facebook or LinkedIn for that matter.
  Nothing will ever top the stupidity of The Royal Wedding For Dummies.  Trust me this ain't no Photoshop, it's an actual book. I've actually seen it at Ollie's Bargain Outlet with all of the other For Dummies Books.
