2. Display more apps in the iPad dock You can place up to 6 apps in the iPad dock. Use this space wisely, because it makes the use of the iPad so much easier and more efficient. Click and hold an app and then drag it into the desired position in the dock. To remove an app from the dock, click and hold again and drag the app away from the dock. Swoosh! Gone. 3. Get the Kindle Reader If you have already purchased E-books at Amazon you should get the Kindle Reader for you iPad as soon as possible. All E-books bought on Amazon are then immediately readable on your iPad. If you haven't bought Amazon E-books yet, you should get started right away. Many E-books on Amazon are available for a lower prize than from Apple directly. 4. Connect a wireless keyboard Every wireless Apple keyboard is working with the iPad. If you own such a keyboard, try it right away. If you don't own a wireless keyboard you should really consider buying one. After writing some longer emails you will realize that typing on the screen can be tiring. 5. Install deleted iPad apps again You can install a purchased app again if you have accidentally deleted it from your iPad. You have to "buy" the app again in the App Store. The App Store "knows" that you have already paid for this app and will offer you to install the app again. No extra cost! 6. Add websites to your iPad home screen One the iPhone you are able to add your favorite websites to the home screen - this also works on the iPad! When you are browsing one of your favorite Websites, just click "+" next to the URL and then select the option to add it to your home screen. 7. Free E-books for your iPad! The iPad is able to display the ePub format which is a popular format for E-books. Just send books of this type to your iPad via email and download them. You can find many other (and often free) E-books all over the internet. 8. Scroll faster through websites If you want to get quickly to the top of a webpage, just quickly double tap on the title bar of the current browser window. 9. Check your iPad for dead pixels! Right after you've purchased your iPad you should check the screen for dead pixels. The best way to do this is to open the iBook application and then select an empty page. The dead pixels are then easily identified as small black dots. 10. Password protect your apps This is a very important point: Apps like iTunes can be protected with a password. By securing your iPad apps you can avoid that other people abuse your iPad to purchase loads of expensive music from the iTunes store. A device like the iPad can be quickly forgotten on a desk. Lock your apps with a password to avoid nasty surprises.
