Welcome to MR (MobileRead), Poppy1972
How exciting to get an iPad. My sis-in-law has one and I am so envious.
MR also has a lot of free PD books in the "
E-Book Uploads - Patricia Clark Memorial Library". They have been beautifully formatted and proofed by some very dedicated MR members. There are some with gorgeous illustrations included also.
Have fun with your new iPad and just ask if you have any questions.
