iPad 4 Idiots is an e-book which was recently released by Jason Owens to help people learn how to use their iPad quickly and effectively through simple, plain English. It is a digital product available for sale on the Internet.
When I first got my iPad, I was frustrated that I couldn't actually perform the 'magical' tasks as advertised correctly. Being internet savvy, I managed to find a lot of articles on the Internet that explained the iPad's features, but most of them are either long manuals or too technical to be understood. I wanted something that can help me get started and enjoy using my iPad instantly.
Aside to that, Apple's manual for the iPad, which you have to download yourself is about 150-pages thick, and contains a lot of complicated technical information.
This is when I stumbled upon iPad 4 Idiots.
In iPad 4 Idiots, readers will learn how to get connected to the Internet quickly, using the built-in Safari browser. They will also learn how to setup their their personal email accounts for Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or even Microsoft Exchange, an email system commonly used in office environments.
iPad 4 Idiots also cover topics on using multimedia content such as photos, videos and music as well as personal information manager (PIM) functions like the Calendar, Notes and Contacts.
And, since the iPad is designed to be a perfect e-book device, iPad 4 Idiots will also walkthrough readers on how to properly download and read e-books from the iBooks Store.
Another topic of significance that iPad 4 Idiots cover is the accessibility options that comes built-in to each iPad. Senior readers, especially those with accessibilty requirements will find this chapter useful.
Last but not least: if you are looking for some tips and tricks to make using your iPad more enjoyable, iPad 4 Idiots has that covered too.
It's not all smooth sailing though - the only issue I have with iPad 4 Idiots is that I have to sit down and read the e-book, something most people try to avoid. It would be great if the author included video tutorials to accompany the e-book.
If you are like me and you have just recently got an iPad, then iPad 4 Idiots would definitely be beneficial. I find myself quite comfortable using my iPad after reading the e-book for about a week.
If you are frustrated because you don't know how to use the iPad, then I highly recommend that you check out iPad 4 Idiots before you throw in the towel.
