Additional Ideas for Shopping Online
Buying audio, video, and ebooks through one of Apple’s online stores represents
the most convenient way to load new content onto your iPad. Although most peo-
ple naturally seem to gravitate toward the latest releases, don’t overlook the huge
library of older products that you might find interesting as well.
Browse through iTunes using the Genius feature, and iTunes can analyze your
current music library to determine which songs by other artists you might be inter-
ested in hearing. By exploring similar but different artists who you may never have
heard before, you can expand your audio and video library without wasting your
money randomly guessing which artists you might like next.
For ebooks, just remember that for every recent best seller, there are prob-
ably dozens of similar books that have been written, and those older books are
probably much less expensive than the latest best seller. Many classics are now in
the public domain and are totally free.
