Hi, all, I'm not sure what to make of the new iTunes. I haven't been following the discussions, because I wanted to explore it on my own for awhile. My thought is that if there are no keyboard shortcuts for the new interface, then it means a lot of navigational keystrokes to find what you want,

I'd say that Barnes and Noble/Nook and Amazon Kindle are comparable as far as volumes of books are concerned. Ibooks is gaining more of a selection all the time, but is still not quite on the level of those two. Teresa Slow down; you'll get there faster. On Dec 10, 2012, at 7:20 AM, Russ Kieh

ITunes 11 is definitely very responsive, but in my opinion, the interface is a bit cluttered, at least as far as keyboard use is concerned. Using the sidebar has alleviated this problem for me, and it's a satisfactory compromise. In general, I tend to upgrade to newer versions of apps, figuring
