iPad Essentials - Getting to Know Your First iPad, Coloring Outside the Lines, Living on a Desert Island with Only Your iPad

Apple's iPad may be the biggest thing in computing since the PC. It's compact, inexpensive, and multitalented—but it's also an entirely different experience from a Mac or PC. Learn the best ways to use your iPad for work or play, what apps you can't live without (and which ones you should avoid), what accessories will make your life easier, and whether you can get rid of your laptop and use only an iPad. Joe Kissell, author of "Take Control of Working with Your iPad," takes you from the basics right through to advanced iPad geekery in a single enjoyable afternoon.
