Vowels sound similar to Spanish: a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u = ooh.
Doubled letters mean long vowels. For instance, ooki is the same as ōki (ohhh-ki).
There are multiple ways to say things. Generally, the longer the sentence, the more polite. For an example, see "Thank you" below in Basic Conversation.
Some endings are barely audible, so it's best to just omit them if you try to say something. These silent endings are in parenthesis. For instance, "DES(U)" sounds like "DES". It will only sound like "DESU" when someone is being very polite.
Don't look at the whole word when pronouncing, just pronounce syllable by syllable. For instance, "hajimemashite" ("nice to meet you") may look hard to pronounce, but you just sound it out, splitting it up: "ha-ji-me-ma-shi-te".

what this book is not: focus on supporting older phones, WAP and older standards
Focus on the future: the shift towards HTML5. making the case, showing the data, etc

big differences on mobile: screen orientation, screen sizes, geolocation, accelerometer, usage, battery, hover states are awkward, etc.
