How to manage files in ipad

Manage in them what way ? The iPad doesn't have a 'file system' like a 'normal' computer, instead each file that you have on it is stored within an app - so you will need to go into an app to manage its content. If you want to copy content to/from an app then how you do so will depend upon what the supports e.g. syncing for the Music and Videos apps, the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer'siTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc.

If you are used to a Windows computer and now have an iPad, you might be thinking the same thing. iOS doesn't want you to worry about files on your iPad, so everything is run through the apps themselves.

If you need a bit more control of your files, you might like FileManger Pro, it's 4.99, but it will manage them through Dropbox, iCloud, etc. Everything is now run throught the cloud usually, which means you might have to pay for Cloud Storage with a Apple device. Hence cloud storage is popular these days, and also dangerous if you know a little about hacking.

Here are your file management options through another app you download with the App Store,

Now if you do have a Windows, or a Mac Computer, plug it into your USB on your computer and install iTunes Software. It will lManage your files through the iTunes Software. First on iTunes go to your iPad button on the top right, then click on your Menu where it Says Apps, and manually control the Files from there.

Dropbox is a helpful for a lot of this and the File Manger Pro will integrate the file management there, so it's worth the 4.99 for that option too, it also integrates with the iCloud and other Cloud option you may have.

Google's Android OS supports at least a minimal form of file management, so why doesn't Apple iPads?

Here's what I wanted to do: The IEEE Communications Society recently allowed us to download an entire e-book that looks interesting. I wanted to transfer the .pdf file to my iPad so that I could read it at the local gym WHICH DOES NOT HAVE PUBLIC WI-FI, so the Safari browser it uses nor "cloud computing" is going to be functional there. I have apps on the iPad that claim to be able to handle such files, but literally no means to access anything other than music and sounds (with iTunes), or photos I have taken (with iPhoto).

Apple, be warned, this is not enough. What you are doing is "dumbing down" mobile devices, and this makes them less useful. A device that is entirely dependent on "the cloud" becomes as useless as a paperweight if not partnered with a content provider that allows at least temporary downloads and a means for using them in the absence of infrastructure; in other words, a mobile device THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE ANYWHERE YOU WANT.

Apple under Steve Jobs was focused on what the customers needed, before they knew they needed it. All these things seem to be are media players with enhanced storage and no means to access it other than through select apps. Guess I'll still be taking books to read on trips, so what do I really need a mobile device like this for?

When you download a book via iBook you can save it locally. When you open a PDF file (book, manual, other) you can also save it locally to iBook and use it when not connected. If you need something specifically for reading books only and no need for all the many functions and features of an iPad, then get a Kindle. Personally, I use my iPad for work and personal with Microsoft Office products and many others for my specific needs (pdf editors/writers). Just learn how to use the software products and work within the limitations of the system they are living on. All products, including PC's, are limited in some fashion.
