Product Description
Product Description
It looks different. It acts different. There’s no right way to hold it. It responds to the touch of your fingertips. It’s the Internet in your lap. It connects to the world, yet it is as personal as a well-worn book.
Taking Your iPad to the Max is written so that anyone, from a computer-savvy teenager to a 92-year-old great-grandmother, can quickly get up to speed on Apple’s latest hit. As bloggers at The Unofficial Apple Weblog (tuaw.com), we have the happy privilege of working with Apple products every day. The iPad is so different from any computer you’ve ever used, and we realize many people could use a helping hand, to feel comfortable buying and using an iPad. We take you from selecting and buying an iPad, to connecting it to the Internet, and then demonstrate just how to use the incredible power of the iPad and all its apps to enhance your life.
Whether you’re using your iPad to surf the Internet, admire family photos, listen to music, watch movies, or read a book, we’re here to guide you. We show you how your iPad can be a virtual shopping mall, opening the door to purchases of music, books, videos, and movies. We help you organize your daily life through the use of Calendar, Notes, and Contacts, communicate with friends and colleagues with Mail, and find your way with Maps.
The iPad is more than the ultimate leisure device; it’s also a work tool. Taking Your iPad to the Max guides you through the basics of Apple’s iWork suite for iPad. Learn to create business or personal documents with Pages, make professional presentations with Keynote, and keep data and finances under control with Numbers.
What you’ll learn
- Learn to manipulate the iPad and its tens of thousands of apps
- Watch, read and listen more with endless movies, books and music at your fingertips
- Use iPad as a professional office tool to create rich documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
- Get connected, stay connected and set your computing life free

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
This review is from: Taking Your iPad to the Max (Technology in Action) (Paperback)
I'm one of those people who get a new piece of technology, then only explore about 10% of its capability. With the iPad, I decided to try a bit harder. Thanks to this excellent book, I now look like a bit of an expert on the iPad. The book is well-written, informative and clear. Highly recommended.

Great book for people new to the iPad,
This review is from: Taking Your iPad to the Max (Technology in Action) (Paperback)
I'm typing this from my iPad thanks to this book! I got the iPad thinking it would be exactly like using my iPod touch. While they're similar, I soon discovered I was missing out on some of the finer things the iPad can do. I decided to pick this book up while on a trip to America. Read the whole think on the flight back home. That night I felt like I was really "using" my iPad to its fullest for the first time. Highly recommended!

The "missing manual" for the iPad,
By Brent Arnold "iBrent" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taking Your iPad to the Max (Technology in Action) (Paperback)
I bought the iPad on the first day it was released. Waited in line and snagged a 32 gig wifi model. Even after using it nearly everyday for the past 2 months, I still learned things I never knew about my iPad."Taking your iPad to the Max" walks you through every aspect of the device. The authors give clear instructions on how to use each feature, using helpful illustrations showing exactly how to perform the task they're discussing. The iPad is for both young and old alike. This book explains it in such an easy to understand language, even your grandmother will know how to use an iPad. This really is the missing manual everyone needs. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

Writing this review from my iPad (thanks to this book)!,
By Jon Travell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taking Your iPad to the Max (Technology in Action) (Paperback)
My son bought me an iPad for a birthday gift. I played around with it for a few weeks but didn't really enjoy it too much. It was a little too complicated for me. Last week my son bought me Taking Your iPad to the Max. I browsed most of the chapters, reading what was relevant to what I wanted to use the iPad for, and now I can't put the iPad down! The book really helped me get used to navigating a touch screen computer! If you aren't a computer whiz or just need some extra help getting used to the iPad, buy this book!

Beneficial, easy to read, to the point,
By LordSpathington - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taking Your iPad to the Max (Technology in Action) (Paperback)
This is a very handy guide to helping you maximize the use of your iPad. I'm not really a tech junky, but I do like to get as much out of my tech as I can and this guide went a long way to helping me accomplish that. It is written plain and clear to further help your education. I've given it five stars because it's really worth the investment and has come in handy for quick reference questions I continually find myself having about the iPad.
