iPad Knowledge ResourceJune 27, 2010 Michael F. Prendergast 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The size of this book caused me to wonder how could someone write a book about the iPad that was several times larger than the iPad. While the book is not a fictional story about the iPad, it is the equivalent of an encyclopedia for the iPad.
The book is extremely well organized with ideas about using both the basic as well as unknown iPad functionality combined with tips on how to get even more value and fun from your iPad. iPad users will enjoy it very much.
best iPad book yet!August 4, 2010 naivetheorist(Chicago) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have read 4-5 iPad books and this is by far the best one (I also ordered the e-book version but was not at all happy with it). I like it so much that I've pre-ordered the "iPhone 4 Made Simple" book by the same authors. If it's as good as this book, I'll be very pleased.

iPad Made Simple
Just like the title says: This book makes learning how to use the iPad and all its capabilities sooooo simple.
It takes you from the very beginning of setting up your
iPad to the billing process to what all the symbols and keys mean. The quick start guide gives you the basics to start using your iPad right away. The front and back covers, table of contents and index give you easy methods to find info. It features screenshots with a little hand pointing to every detail, and tips in gray boxes that are very helpful. Whatever your looking for from iTunes, entertainment, traffic info, maps, games, and any app available, this book has it all covered very simply. It is a great reference manual and I highly recommend it.
Very Detailed iPad InstructionsJuly 31, 2010 Barry Caplan 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was by far the best iPad book I have read to date and I have quite a few. It's detailed instruction with examples are one of the main reasons it stood out. I sat with my iPad next to me trying each tip and instruction out and was amazed with the results. I look forward to future issues as well as the occasional tips they send out.
Very detailed instructions for beginning users of iPadJune 15, 2010 Andy Zhang(Washington, DC) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you want to learn how to operate and customize your new iPad, this is a book with so much coverage on features of iPad--from Wi-Fi connection to read iBook, from syncing your iPad with iTunes to creating documents with iWork, from using Email to watch TV shows. The book also has a very good section on troubleshooting tips and social networking. Each section of this book has plenty of step-by-step visual aid --made the learning process really simple.
