I use this to transfer full resolution PDF files, images, wallpaper, documents for meetings, etc. Upon launching the wifi connection on through Good Reader on your iPad, you can connect wirelessly from your desktop or laptop (assuming you’re on the same network) and ‘upload’ files to a “Documents” folder on your iPad. In regards to file transfer, I’m using an application called “Good Reader” that allows me to transfer files (pdf, csv, txt, jpg, etc.) directly to a folder on my iPad via wifi. Looks like you already got input on auto-rotate lock, which is a good way to keep content put when viewing. I wish I could show my Dad what a cool device the iPad is. Great blog post and it’s prolific to see old and new interact. Amazon? Two books in Kindle format, one for $6.99 and the other for $9.99 (with a hardcover copy bargain priced at $9.58–go figure!). So I went looking for electronic versions of any recent books. I’m also midway through a mystery by April Smith, “North of Montana,” found at a thrift store. There’s also a Kindle version of Diamond’s earlier book, “Guns, Germs, and Steel”. I have to say that Apple has a long way to go to catch up with Amazon’s Kindle.įor example, a comment yesterday referenced Jared Diamond’s book, “Collapse”.Īpple has it in its own iBook format for $14.99.Īmazon offers a Kindle version, which you can read using the free Kindle iPad app, for $9.99. Why should this be so hard impossible to do? I will have to go back to the beginning, correct the photos on the laptop, and then sync them again to replace the first batch. And rotating the iPad also rotated the photo, so it always displayed wrong. I could rotate the photo but it turned back to its original orientation as soon as I let it go. There wasn’t any way to correct the photos on the iPad. It seemed like a natural and simple movement for the touch screen interface. Just grab the photo with two fingers and turn. I saw it after the sync was completed but figured it would be easy to remedy. What I failed to notice is that some of the photos were in the wrong orientation (horizontal photos standing on end). To move pictures over to the iPad, I had to point iTunes to the folder they were in and then run a sync. I had to take over and hold it for him several times before he picked it up again. And the weight also meant that he had trouble looking at it for long. It’s heft meant that he had to hold it with both hands in order to view the pictures, and it was difficult to hold without touching the screen with one or more fingers, which would change the picture or even the application. Yesterday I loaded up a set of my dad’s old pictures and headed over to pay him a visit. At the same time, it’s amazing how well I can “get by” with it on a routine day. But my laptop, an older Macbook Pro, is my primary computer, and the iPad is no laptop replacement. I also carried it on one short trip, where it drew a lot of attention from flight attendants, who wanted to know my opinion of it. I’ve carried it, instead of my laptop, for several days of researching downtown. I like it, and have been getting used to it. Here’a another brief update on my experience with my iPad.
