I whizzed are described as simulating the experience of urinating for a long time and the life-changing animal parts can let you make an animal but facing forward Bart root drop or whiz now it's pretty obvious we are throwing out the bad apple on this guy and I'm just really glad that these are the people approving apps that could potentially change our lives all right let's check out a quick tip for getting PDFs on your iPad step one and maybe the most challenging step is actually saving your document as a PDF now if you haven't done it before you may be confused as to how exactly to do it on a Mac instead simple you actually go from the print menu and you can actually save as a PDF from there we find that the easiest way to do it is just email the document to yourself we just downloaded a free epub there are a lot out there this is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens a 3.9 megabyte file once it's downloaded you can click on it and it opens up a preview within email now at the top there's an open end button you just tap that and it actually shows you all of the apps that can read that will pick I books and it imports it really quickly and then it adds it to a library that's a parallel library to what's on your book collection on your iBooks app now the difference here is that you can't really change the font sizes and as you notice there's no pretty page-turning you're going to have to deal with just side by side scrolling another nice thing about PDF files they'll retain all of their color and graphics as well so if you have big brochures or digital magazines those work great too now if you don't want to email it to yourself you can always simply do it from itunes the same way you would with epub or other files when you connect it within iTunes you can choose to add it within iTunes under the documents area you can add the files that you want so that's it it's a more diversity reader than you think and it's really easy to get files from your email if you're using PDFs I'm Scott's dinan us how to read PDF ebooks on your iPad thank Scott now let's check out some other news we've covered the battle between Apple and adobe's flash adobe has
