Take Your iPad to Work ReviewI selected this book because I've been an iPad user since the first month it came out. I've consistently tried using my iPad at work in a number of ways and am still tweaking my ways I use it at work to be most effective. So when I had the opportunity to read this book I thought it would be great! A book on using your ipad at work, how neat...Well this book is a great book... for beginner ipad owners that have no idea what to do with the iPad. The book is approx 350 pages long and the author spends the first 96 pages telling you first what an ipad is (2 pages) to what the buttons are on the ipad and how it works.... This has nothing to do with using the iPad at work, this has to do with remedial iPad use. This is beginner stuff. I would imagine you wouldn't attempt to use an iPad at work without some basic understanding of it.
This book spent 1/3 of it's length with remedial information, for any current iPad user you can fly by pages 1-100 and start out on chapter 7 which is where the business apps really start coming into play where the author writes about iWork. But then a few chapters later they talk about setting up a twitter page and facebook pages... ??? More content not relevant in my opinion to using your iPad at work.
I don't get it. This is a fantastic book for the beginner to iPads, NOT someone who has been using one and is looking for tips on "taking your iPad to work." If this book was "you just got an iPad FROM work and you have no idea how to use it" then sure cover the basics, but this is TAKING YOUR IPAD TO WORK. In other words you own it, you play with it, you know the basics. Show me the good stuff, give me tips, techniques to use it in meetings, ways to be more productive.
If you want a book for beginners get this, if you want a book for anyone that has had an iPad for more then a week you should probably skip on this.
Oh and a lot of the apps they discuss in this book are the higher dollar apps. iWork is $10 a piece for 3 apps totaling $30, I personally use google docs which is free or a DocsToGo which is $14 total for similar functionality where you save over 50% over iWork. They don't mention GoodReader which I found over the last year to be the best reader for PDF's, docs, etc and is only a dollar. They talk about LogMeIn which I do have but is $30 and there are other free options that are suitable. Almost every app they mention is one of the more expensive apps in the Apple app store, there ARE a few cheap/free mentions but this book really doesn't do justice to the selection of apps out there that are much cheaper and in most cases more effective.
For a beginner like I said who needs help this will be good, but for anyone else I would pass on this.
