Concise and to the point

This very short, concise guide quickly covered a lot of the S3 basics and some typical use cases. I'll say this, AWS does a very good job of not only documenting their services but making the information very accessible in a variety of formats. 4 stars.

Basic introduction to S3

This book(?) provides a very basic and non-technical introduction to S3. If you're an experienced developer it might not be the book for you.
