Chapter 2. Working and Playing in the iPad

Conventional wisdom has it that the iPad is just a media-consumption device.

Far be it from us to argue with conventional wisdom. Nonetheless, in this chapter we show you how to do more with your iPad than just lean back and consume books, videos, Web pages, and music.

Turn the page and follow along as we demonstrate how to get stuff onto your iPad so you can do things with that stuff. Then we show you how to make stuff with the stuff you have on your iPad—stuff like party invitations, instructional flash cards, fine food, and vacation plans.

Why do we do all this? Because the iPad is more than just a media-consumption device. That’s our unconventional wisdom.
