Just bought myself a Nexus 7...

... waiting for the baby keyboard, case screen protector and other gubbins...

BUt annoyed that I have to buy a manual separately. I'm a bit old-school in that this is my first tablet... I was hoping to at least have a booklet I could sit and read beforehand...

So one's on order...

I can never see the point of getting cases, screen protecters and keyboards for a tablet

And you've ordered a manual for it? They are usually pretty intuitive but if not surely you can find help online?

How long should I charge it for initially?

Can't remember the last time I read a manual for anything ... they're almost always PDF documents these days.

And I hate to say it, but there really isn't a lot that a manual could cover that you wouldn't be able to pick up in a few minutes usage.

When I got my Nexus 7 (2012 model) a guidebook was one of the books included in the library.

I suppose it's down to the last devices i bought were my Nokia N900 (which came with a manual), and my 17in Lenovo laptop - I bought a Windows 7 Reference Guide for it..

This is my first tablet...

Well I like to keep my tablets clean and also want to protect the screen. However I do like to accesorise my devices so that's part of the reason why I get them.

That one is also available in PDF format here (with the advantages that it can be read on a PC, and it can be downloaded without having to enter any credit card details):

Yes same here.

I'm noticing most things are coming without manuals these days. And if it does come with one, it's just the 'quick start' variety. If you want more you have to go online.
