The iPad is more popular than ever and is now used by every generation. But as practical as these all-rounders are, they are initially unfamiliar and challenging to handle, especially for inexperienced computer users. If you hold such a device in your hands for the first time, you will need appropriate instructions. There is nothing printed from Apple and the online manual is scarce and not everyone's taste. This is where the title “iPad – The guide for senior citizens” comes in.

With easy-to-understand descriptions and numerous illustrations, you will learn everything about setup and operation, surfing the Internet, sending emails, managing photos, apps that make everyday life easier, and much more. This book covers iPads with the current iOS 8, but it can also be used for devices with iOS 7. Beginners without prior knowledge get the perfect introduction to the topic, but also advanced learners learn new things.
