Store User Manuals in the Books App?
What a brilliant idea!
My most favorite podcast is Mac Geek Gab, a weekly potpourri of Apple tips, computer gear, and more. As they themselves say, you don’t need to be a geek to listen, but if you listen long enough, you might become one.
This week I was especially interested because a listener called Tigg described using the Apple Books App to store PDF’s of user manuals and receipts. That’s something not many people would think of doing, but when you buy new gear of any kind, it either comes with a small paper manual or a link to something larger on a website. Unfortunately, you can’t assume that the paper won’t get lost or deteriorate over time, or that the website link will still work when you need that manual years later.
I have been doing something similar for years, but I use Notes. In addition to receipts and manuals, I store health info, taxes, ID’s, copies of credit cards, where I put things and much more.
