You can use your iPhone’s 3G service to connect your ipad to the internet. This is done by tethering (joining) your iPhones 3G data connection to enable the iPad to connect to the internet even if it is only the Wi-Fi model. This is a great way to get online when you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection available and you don’t have a 3G iPad.

To tether your iPad:

You must add the tethering option for your carrier on the carrier’s website by logging into your account and adding the feature. This isn’t free though so it maybe worth looking into before you decide to use this option.

Set the iPad to accept a tethered connection:

Tap the Settings icon.
Tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the tethering service tab in the choose network setting then enter your carrier details.

Using A Passcode To Secure Your iPad

Keeping your iPad secure is a must due to the iPad’s portability. Where there’s portability there’s the chance of misplacing your ipad or even losing it, because your iPad can store your personal details keeping it secure against unwanted people using it should be your number 1 priority.

The first way would be to use the passcode lock, this asks the user to enter a password after it has been woken or turned on. An alphanumeric passcode will need to be entered to allow you to use your iPad.

To set the passcode simply:

On the home screen tap Settings > General and then select the Passcode Lock button.
If you want to set the Passcode to be alphanumeric and not numeric tap the Simple passcode to the off position.
Next enter the four digit code you wish to use, it will then ask you to re-confirm the Passcode.

Now everytime you wake or turn on the iPad it will prompt you to enter your passcode.

Getting Use To The iPad Reading Screen

The hardest part for most people is actually getting use to not physically holding a book. It does feel very alien the first time you try it and a lot of people, my wife included, just can’t get on with the digital reading scenario, partly because she like to know how much she’s read. But the benefits of reading on your iPad are massive. From font size to holding hundreds of books on one device, it certainly pays off to get use to reading on the iPad.

Here’s a quick look into the reader itself:

Library – Tap this to see your entire book library
Table of Contents – Contents at a glance of the book you are currently reading
Brightness – Adjust brightness of the screen
Change Font – Change font and font size and also changes the page color
Search - Search for certain text
Page Slider – Slide from left to right to find a desired page

There are more settings in the iBooks preferences. Simply tap: Settings> iBook and you will be given more options.
