Yes, there is indeed a learning curve w/this thing. I managed to download a free solitaire game......A step in the right direction.....but it seems to do so many things according to the posts here...is there a website for iPad users to share info....I wish there was manual w/it. Oh, there is a pamphlet in the box w/Ipad, but I tell you the print is soooo very small one needs a magnifying glass to read it!!!!!!!!I guess that is cost effective.............I like the idea of transferring my kindle books to iPad.......will have to figure out how.........bye for now......
