Book excerpt: 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. Unlike the official iPad manual, the survival guide is not written like a book in paragraph form. Instead, every instruction is broken down into clear and concise steps. The iPad Survival Guide provides useful information not discussed in the iPad manual, such as tips and tricks, hidden features, troubleshooting advice, as well as advice on how to solve various Wi-Fi issues. 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.
