when I first read the post, this caught my eye "there is no easy way to switch between apps using an iPad"
I was going to post *sarcastically* -- four fingers slide from one to another.
Then, I realized, you had written "there is no easy way to switch between apps using an iPad keyboard"
Well, my experience with keyboards is that a combo of keyboard and touch screen gestures works best. So, the 4-finger slide could still be in order--if the iPad is stably mounted.
Shy of that, though, turn on Voice Over (Settings, Accessibiltiy) and the classic commandt-tab, command-shift-tab commands work. Alas, though, it changes the screen tap behavior!
The tab commands shouldn't require special settings.
Do you know of any forward-delete command?
The keyboard I have does 't seem to support it--or, iOS is missing it!
(Of course, Mr. Steve felt we didn't need cursor keys!)
Any update on ePub editing on iOS? I have a couple of ebooks for which I'd like to change the meta data and some mis-scanned words!
