Anyone use this book to learn more about their Pen cameras? We all know the manual that comes with the camera is sorely deficient, and I want to learn more - the tricks, if you will. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated too...

Start browsing around and if you find something that you doubt your knowledge about, google it or ask a straight question.
Also start reading random articles on Wikipedia's Category:Photography in order to broaden your vision.
BTW, E-P1's manual is not so bad, but if you know what you are looking for.

I don't generally use books for my cameras, but I'm sure it is very helpful. Thanks for mentioning that book.

Got that book for my iPad from Amazon Kindle shop, very nice, in color. Many tips for beginners! I would recommend it

you dont need to be a "dummy"to know that the image quality of the epL1
is even superior to that of the ep1 and my gf1....! checked it out in person with my lens on the 2 different bodies at b and h a month ago, there is clearly an edge that goes to the epL1, i dont let it bother me .... i understand there is a lighter or no anti alias , and some firmware pp that makes the difference?
anyhow,
the epl1 is a superb instrument

In addition to purchasing e-books for your iPad, don't forget that there are also several very good (and inexpensive) apps from the iTunes store. I can recommend three in particular: "Photo Buffet", "dSLR Toolkit for Dummies", and "PocketChris". Prices range from free to $4.99.
