Avoid squinting while surfing the web The zoom features of the iPad while web browsing are just one more of the device's positives. Zooming in on a section of a website makes it much easier to do things like click on a link, fill out forms, and more. You can zoom in on a part of a web page by flicking twice. Keep your iPad covered The last thing you want on your iPad is an unsightly scratch. Just one little ding on your display could ruin the enjoyment you get from watching movies on it or performing other tasks. Luckily, the iPad is built well to withstand scratches, but that does not mean that they are out of the question. To protect your iPad's surface, you should get a good case to travel with, or a protective cover. Most of the cases made for the iPad have special interiors that are soft and will not cause scratching. Considering the significant investment you have made in just buying an iPad, buying an extra cover or case is a good precaution to take. Find added brightness controls in iBooks When you are reading a book, you want to have the right lighting in place to avoid eye strain. The same holds true for e-books. Obviously, the iPad has general settings that allow you to adjust its display's brightness. Lowering the brightness not only helps to spare some battery life, but it also is easier on your eyes. If you want to lower the brightness even more than the lowest level offered by the general settings, you can do so within the iBooks app. The iBooks app has a brightness slider that is easy to use and will let you achieve that low brightness level needed when reading books on the iPad. Go full-screen when watching your favorite videos on the web Nobody likes to squint when watching videos. The iPad's screen is nice and big, so why not get the most out of it? If you want to watch web videos in full-screen mode, all you have to do is do a flick gesture twice. To exit out of full-screen mode, flick twice again. Get the most out of your listening experience with headphones Listening to music is just one of the ways that the iPad can provide you with entertainment. You can listen to music without headphones, but do not expect any great sound from the iPad's integrated speaker system. If you really want to enjoy your music, get some good headphones or earbuds. Once you plug them in, you will realize just how good audio can sound on the iPad. That wraps up the Tricks of the iPad Trade series. Hopefully you picked up some new tricks to add to your list, and remember to check back in for more to come.
