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.

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. Whereas the official iPad manual is stagnant, this guide goes above and beyond by discussing recent known issues and solutions that may be currently available. This information is constantly revised for a complete, up-to-date manual.
