I've never read the thick book that comes with a digital camera or cell phone in my life. I just read the *quick guide* that comes with every one of them, (usually one page), and off I go. The detailed instruction book is really more of a reference source where you could look something up if you really need to know.
It's a lot like the owners manual with a car. Most people never, ever even peek at it and the car still gets them around just fine. Point and shoot digital cameras are 100% automatic and about as difficult to use as dental floss. You should really get over your anger with modern technology and let someone show you how to use it. If you can post here, you can use a digital camera. They crush film cameras like a grape for web posting and sending pics around on the internets.
