Brand new ipad, not brave enough to IOS5. Friend claims there should be a "books" icon but there isn't. All I want to do is download the manual so I don't have to carry the 154 pieces of paper with me. Please don't mock me for being a stupid PC owner. Not having a good 1st Apple product experience yet
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3
The iBooks app is available for download here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8
The iOS 5 version of the iPad manual is here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Once you have the manual open in Safari, tap once on it and you'll see an "Open in iBooks" button. Done!
Oh, and since you said you're not quite on ios 5 yet -- though I definitely recommend it! -- here's the same manual, but the older, ios 4.3 version:
The PDF can only be saved to iBooks if you have iBooks installed. So go back, take a deeeeeep breath, and install iBooks using the link above. :) Then, once iBooks is installed, a single tap on the PDF manual will bring up a "Save to iBooks" button in the upper-right corner.
Here's an official Apple support article on how to use iBooks to save and manage PDFs:

Good luck!
There has to be an iBook icon on your screen, perhaps not on the main screen but certantly it's installed. Check all your screens and once you locate it open it and select the "store" button on the top left conner. Once the App Store opens simply search for the book and install it...this can also be accomplished on your computer using iTunes.
No worries at all! Just open this page in the iPad's web browser, which has an icon like a compass. You could either navigate to the Apple Discussion forum by its URL, or find it via Google. If you have email set up on your iPad, you could also email yourself the URL: just copy and paste it from the message above.
Once you're visiting this same page that you're on now using your iPad, just tap the links I included before. The first one will lead to the downloads page for iBooks, and the second will automatically download the manual.
Apparently everyone here has forgotten that the manual is already present on the iPad. Open Safari on the iPad, select the bookmark icon (looks like an open book) and then select iPad user guide. That is the manual.
No one has forgotten anything -- many people, myself included, prefer to keep an offline PDF version of the manual on our iPads for use when we're not connected to the Internet. The OP specifically asked where she could download it. The version you mentioned is of course online only.
I for one am glad Apple provides both formats!
I must be menatlly disabled, because wehn i open safari there is some random web page tied to an email i had received (from sephoa if you care) , but there is no bookmark or anything that will get me to google.
So I forwared the email to myself again and the link got me to the pdf, but it does not have a way to save it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
I hate this
In order to save a PDF on the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports PDFs. The free iBooks app supports PDFs, and if you download that app, then from within it you can go to the ibookstore, search for 'ipad guide ios 5', and then download a copy of the iPad iOS 5 manual directly in that app - it will then be there for you to use when you are not connected to the internet.
it should be available in ibooks
????? there is only one screen.
like i said - no ibooks
PLEASE help. Ready to throw this ipad out the window.
Just got an email reply from someone. Tells me to type a huge long address into safari. How do I do that ????
how do i download the ipad manual onto my ipad.
