Book description
My New iPad guides you through dozens of simple projects that will have you doing useful things with your iPad right away—like surfing the Internet, sending email, listening to music, taking notes, reading ebooks, using iWork, and playing with digital photos. Since no one wants to read a long, dry manual to learn how to use their new toy, Wang takes a practical approach and keeps the tone light. You'll be using your new iPad immediately to do cool things you didn't know it could do.
