>The books in the bundle include:
>
>* "Take Control of iPad Basics," by Tonya Engst: The iPad is easy to
>use, but it's also completely unfamiliar for many people, and we made
>this ebook free in order to help new users become comfortable more
>quickly. Also, by covering the basics in this ebook, our other Take
>Control books about the iPad can focus more deeply on their topics.
>The ebook covers how to decide which iPad and accessories to buy, and
>it helps you understand the iPad's buttons and ports, learn
>multi-touch gestures, download apps, sync data and media, find your
>stuff, and avoid newbie mistakes. The ebook wraps up with a
>discussion of how to impress your friends with a great iPad demo! 109

>* "Take Control of Working with Your iPad," by Joe Kissell: We've all
>wondered whether it would be possible to get real work done on the
>iPad, and in this ebook, Joe covers what you can do. Joe started
>thinking he'd focus on Apple's iWork suite - Pages, Numbers, and
>Keynote - and the ebook does cover those apps, but he ended up
>looking at many third-party apps as well. You'll learn to manage
>contacts and calendars, take notes and write documents, create
>spreadsheets and presentations, and much more. Special topics include
>printing and moving documents among apps and devices! 111 pages, $7

>remote control for iTunes, the Apple TV, or consumer electronics. A
>free update will soon add coverage of videos, photos, and more. We
