The iPad Survival Guide organizes the wealth of knowledge about the iPad into one place, where it can be easily accessed and navigated for quick reference.

You will also learn how to download FREE games and FREE eBooks, how to PRINT right from your iPad, and how to make VOICE CALLS with the use of a simple application. Whereas the official iPad manual is stagnant, this guide goes above and beyond by discussing recent known issues and solutions that may be currently available. This information is constantly revised for a complete, up-to-date manual.

This guide is worth every penny,
While the iPad looks intimidating and may be difficult to master at first, the iPad Survival guide makes this trendy device very accessible. In addition, Toly K includes various tips and tricks not described in the iPad manual and even certain currently known issues, which really went above and beyond my expectations. One of the first things I did after getting my iPad was to download some free games, and this guide helped me to find them.
But to be able to use the applications I purchased and the other features of the iPad, I needed to make sure I could use the interface efficiently. The guide describes every task in great detail, with clear step-by-step instructions. The author is definitely writing for someone who has never picked up an iPad, or any type of Apple or even any other electronic product. While the text is toned down for the complete novice, it still offers excellent insight for those who have used Apple products for years. For example, I would have never known how to turn on the Voiceover (text to speech) feature in iBooks.
I would highly recommend this guide to both new and experienced users who wish to go beyond learning what the iPad manual describes. While the iPad manual and other resources on the internet could probably provide the same information, the organization of all of this knowledge into one easy-to-read manual is what makes the survival guide stand out. You can always download the free sample, look at the Table of Contents, and decide whether you wish to buy the eBook. At $0.99, it is worth every penny.

|Full of hidden tricks!,
I am a more advanced user who has owned Apple products for years. I thought I knees everything about the iPad, but this manual definitely opened my eyes to some cool shortcuts and hidden tricks. Apple certainly worked hard to hide such things as tacking screenshots and uploading eBooks you have purchased elsewhere. I was glad I could learn something new from this book!

|Handy Useful iPad Tips and Info,
I consider myself an “iPad pro.” After all, I have two of them–a WiFi version at work and a 3G version at home. I use them both nearly every day. So what could this little reference guide possibly tell me that I don’t already know about the device or couldn’t figure out by myself? A great deal apparently.
For $.99 I figured that it would be only a small loss if this iPad reference guide told me what I already knew about the device, so I downloaded it. However, within five minutes of downloading it, I learned about using voiceover to read books aloud in the iBook app. Then a found a largely undocumented tip showing how to take screen shots in just about any app. Now how cool and potentially useful is that?
In just a couple of minutes, I got my money’s worth and probably will find many other helpful and useful tips as a scan through this ebook. Sometimes surprises come in small, inexpensive packages.
