Indeed.
I don't think the problem is lack of available things to read.
I agree.
It's the fact that a lot of people don't want to read at all.
That is a problem but my impression is that most folks new to Arduino have a difficult time knowing how or where to get the information they need. They come to the forum because they suffer from 3rd Order Ignorance.
For example, I can distinctly remember when I started that it was a few weeks before I realized there was a "Playground" and a few months before I realized what the "Playground" was. I assumed, with the title "Playground", it was a place for advanced users to exchange project details so I simply didn't bother to visit.
Maybe we need an Arduino picture book...you know, bright colors, shapes, connect the dots....
