Whoopee. I have just discovered a way to save recipes quickly on the forum. I just 'photograph' the page and it is stored in my camera roll   
Then when I have tried it, I can keep or discard it. Everyone probably knows it, but I have just discovered it. 😚

Lol Cookie, what a great idea. I actually do know that you can take photos of things, but didn't even think about taking a photo of a recipe. Good thinking :D

Screen shots are the way to go. Then sort them into albums Cookie .

Also,when ther is an interesting comment you want to send someone  take a screen shot and just mail that. Then they do not have to wade through a whole,page or thread.

I LOVE SCREEN SHOTS!

I have been doing that to send recipes to my DD's and DIL's.
A lot quicker than typing it out or even relaying it over the phone. They can then save or delete when used depending on whether they like it or not.
I love iPadsand iPhones  ;D

I photograph recipes from library books & also take screen shots from web sites. The ipad is so handy.

That is a good tip too H. Using the camera makes life so easy. Saves tearing pages out of library books too.

For some reason I can't sort my photographs into albums. I'll have to take my iPad into a store to show them cos its weird.

Nope it has not. The first I will hear will be that it is now engraved and I am unable to cancel. Then comes the notice that it has been dispatched with a tracking number. Then the game begins with it travelling all around  the world until it gets here!

I am not expecting a notice  until early Dec. I think there has been some delay. I just hope that Telstra is ready to roll,with the tiny SIM cards they require. I do not  want to tether it with the phone as I think it will be cheaper to use the3G on the iPad.

You will be the first to know whe I get the email from Apple.

Was it much cheaper doing it your way? Apple store quotes $369 for the mini
