Best reference book for iPod?

What's the best book to get the most out of my iPod?

This past summer we bought a 5g (?) video iPod. My S.O. and I have been poking around in iTunes, on the Web, etc. to figure out how to do things with it. But we've figured out that we could really use a good book to have on hand. MeFites?

iLounge has a really wonderful PDF telling you just this sort of thing here.

You can't get any more recent than this, as it was released by the publishers today! There is even a free 18 page sample download, so you can get a feel if this might prove helpful for you, as well as a list of the entire table of contents.

I've picked up several e-books from the "Take Control" Series and highly recommend them. You can often buy several as a bundle and save a significant amount. (Subscribe to the TidBits newsletter and you will be notified of any sale bundles or discounts.) I think this one should really do the trick for you!

Seconding the annual iLounge guide (for an idea of what to do with accessories), plus their weekly ask iLounge feature for more ideas.
