Cool iPad trick for offline viewing

For many of you this is probably already known, but I thought I would share just in case

I often find useful links to long articles, or just pages I think would be helpful but I am surfing on an iPad so I don't print, I'll just bookmark. With all the power outage possibilities I was trying to come up with a way to store some of the info on the actual iPad.

For anything that's already in PDFs for iPad (and maybe iPhone) you can tap and hold on the page and "open in iBooks" will be an option. This actually saves it onto your actual device for viewing offline. I did just that for many of the PDFs in that post about "808 useful survival PDFs" (not sure if it was 808 but many of you will know the post I am referring to.)

Just this morning I clicked on the (re)vision article and thought this would be an interesting read for later, but it was extremely long and I couldn't find a PDF download. I tapped the share link with the box and the up arrow and scrolled over to find a button "convert page to PDF for iBooks" I clicked and it created a 365 page pdf on stored on my iPad! And I tried this same technique with web pages with pictures, and it works.

Again, many of you probably already knew this, but I thought I would share for those wanting to create an offline library. Hope this was helpful
