Tuesday's iPad Tips

Reading:  

- Kobo

- Free Books

- Kindle

- OverDrive (lets you pick your library of choice and download e-books or audiobooks)

If you're not aware, you don't need a Kobo or a Kindle to get books. Also, there are a ton of free Public Domain books you can get from the above 3 apps.

Browsers:

- Chrome

- DiigoBrowser

- Skyfire

- Diigo

iPad comes with Safaari. The other above browsers are also availalbe. I think the advantage of skyfire is that it'll load some videos that Safari won't. Diigo? If you don't use it, it's pretty powerful. What it allows you to do is bookmark, highlight, annotate, etc. So, if you're reading stuff and it's noteworthy, it's saved and annotated. ps - get Diigo on all your computer browsers as well.

TIP

If there's a website that you go to often, you can put if on your homescreen as follows:

- click on the envolope with the arrow icon next to your URL line

- click add to homescreen

- give it a new name (if you don't like the default)

- done :)
