By default, iPad's email app is configured to show only 2 lines, probably a hold-over from
iPhone, but impractically small for iPad.
Go to Settings | Mail, Contacts and Calendars and select "5 lines" under Preview. Also, while
you're at it, you might want to update your Push email from "Manual" if you like to have your
messages waiting when you open the Mail app. Note - push features tend to drain battery power
a bit more quickly.

Most of us assume you need to disable your Bluetooth keyboard to get the virtual keyboard to
come up. This is not true - simply hit the eject button on your Bluetooth keyboard and iPad will
launch the internal keyboard.

iPad Tip 5 - Fast Scroll
Fast Scroll to Top
You're reading a very lengthy web page and realize you want to get back to the top. Few
people realize that a double tap on the bezel above the browser (the title bar) is possible and will
instantly scroll to the top.

iPad Tip 4: Screenshot
iPad Screenshot
Many people don't realize you can do this on any iOS device: screenshot anything you're
looking at with a simple button combination.
Push the top (power) and home buttons at the same time for about a half second. The screen
image will be stored in your photo library.

iPad Tip 3: Import Books
You don’t need to get your eBooks from the iBooks bookstore - you can download ePub
formatted books from any source and install them to your iPad.
To install an ePub formatted ebook into your iPad via iTunes, drag and drop the ePub file
into the iTunes Books folder and then sync your iPad.

iPad Executive Tip 2
Quick Select-All
As we know, copying text is simple - double tapping a word. Getting a whole paragraph is
done by dragging the little blue numbs, right? Wrong.
Speed up the process and avoid dragging those little nubs around by tapping any editable text
four times. This will highlight the entire paragraph.

iPad Tip 1: Soft Reset
This is a really handy tip - performing a soft reset - i.e., a reboot.This will be extremely useful
in those rare cases when your iPad freezes or you’re struggling with a new iOS update.
Hold the top (power) and bottom front (home) button for about five seconds and your iPad
will restart. Similarly, to force-quit any application, hold the home button by itself for a few
seconds.
