    Abstract: In macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple finally did away with iTunes. In its place are three new apps-Music, TV, and Podcasts-with audiobooks now handled by the Books app and syncing of mobile devices handled by the Finder. Where once iTunes was an all-purpose media hub, now you may use up to five apps to accomplish the same things. The new apps also add more features (while, sadly, removing a few things too). Take Control of macOS Media Apps is your guide to this new, post-iTunes world. Kirk McElhearn, whose earlier books on iTunes 10, 11, and 12 collectively sold nearly 14,000 copies, is back with a new book that shows you how to manage your music, videos, podcasts, and audiobooks in Catalina. Whether you just want to play your media, or you want to go deeper with special features like Genius, Shuffle, Up Next, Apple Music, and iTunes Match, this comprehensive guide has the answers you need. Kirk also looks at various ways of bringing audio and video into Apple's media apps, tagging songs and videos so you can find them more easily later, creating playlists, sharing your library over a home network, and syncing media with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. The book covers how to: Play Music: Learn the basics of playing audio (and even music videos) in the Music app. You'll also find tips on making quick playlists with Genius and Up Next, learn the best ways to search for the music you want to hear, stream music to other devices in your home, and view lyrics while tunes play. Stream Music: Use Apple Music, a paid service, to listen to any of 50 million tracks. Or listen to live broadcasts from Apple Music Radio (including Beats 1). View Your Music and Other Content: Learn how to use the sidebar, view your music library, and work with contextual menus in the Music app. Store Your Music Library in the Cloud: What are the pros and cons of Apple's Cloud Music Library? How do Music and iTunes Match figure out whether to upload your music when setting up your Cloud Music Library? You'll get answers to these questions and more. Use the iTunes Store: iTunes may be gone, but the iTunes Store is still open for business! Find tips on shopping in the iTunes Store, and get advice on sharing your purchases with family members and among your various Apple devices. Tag Your Music: Tags are bits of information (also known as "metadata") that can describe your media. Learn which tags to bother changing, the best ways to add lyrics and album art, how to rate songs with stars, ...

    Abstract: Take your videoconferencing skills from zero to Zoom! Version 1.0.2, updated 5/22/2020 Many of us rarely touched a video chat or videoconferencing tool until the pandemic hit. Now, we videoconference daily (or more often) for work meetings, to talk to clients, to stay in touch with friends and family, and for school-we've gone from zero to Zoom! Zoom is the most widely used videoconferencing system in the world due to its generous feature set for free users and the ease of joining video chats by people without prior experience. But you can learn to master some of its subtle, hard-to-find, or confusing features and increase your efficiency and enjoyment as a participant and as a host. Take Control of Zoom takes the pain out of learning how to best use this powerful tool. The book covers a broad range of topics, from which Zoom app to use and how to configure your account and app even before your first meeting, to how to work among Zoom views and chat in a meeting, to creating and managing your own meetings. But what about privacy and security? Zoom's skyrocketing use revealed how insecure some of its software design choices were and how sloppy the company had been as it added options. Since March 2020, Zoom has rolled out hundreds of fixes and dozens of changes, all well documented in the book. Take Control of Zoom doesn't shirk discussing past flaws and Zoom's ongoing plans, and offers insight into which purposes you can safely use the system for and how to re-establish trust in what they offer. Here's what you will find in Take Control of Zoom : Learn how to install and configure Zoom. Decide if a web app meets your needs or it's something to recommend to other meeting participants. Configure your physical setup and your hardware for best results on video. Don't forget that even if you don't see a stream of yourself, you're on camera for other people. Upgrade your audio for better comfort and quality. Understand Zoom's past missteps with security and what it promises now. Master participating in a meeting, including the various methods of "speaking up." Get to know Zoom's many mobile and desktop views for seeing other people and shared screens. Become a host and start meetings with one other person or 1,000. Dig into Zoom's meeting controls to create safe meetings and manage public ones, keeping participants safe and blocking or removing problematic members. Find out how to preserve your privacy when sharing apps, presentations, or other part...

    Abstract: Discover Preview's hidden features for editing images and manipulating PDFs! Version 1.2, updated 5/22/2020 Apple bundles the Preview app with every Mac, but few people realize what it's capable of. The Mac experts behind TidBITS, Adam Engst and Josh Centers, have plumbed Preview's depths to create a cheerful, colorful book that explains dozens of techniques for importing, viewing, editing, and converting images in Preview. The book also puts you in control of reading, annotating, manipulating, and encrypting PDFs. Updated to cover Catalina! Packed with real-world examples and tips, the book teaches you how to bring files into Preview from a camera, iOS or iPadOS device, or scanner (or just from the Finder). Once you discover Preview's surprisingly capable collection of image-editing tools, you'll soon be editing imported photos by tweaking the exposure, color saturation, sharpness, and more. You can even mark up your images with circles, arrows, and text, plus numerous other shapes. In the second part of the book, Adam and Josh focus on PDFs in Preview, describing how to configure Preview to make reading PDFs as fluid as possible. Since so many paper forms now come in PDF, the book shows you how to fill out PDF-based forms, complete with quick insertion of your digital signature. Those who read digital textbooks or who collaborate on documents will learn to annotate PDFs with highlights, notes, and bookmarks. You'll even learn how to create PDFs from a scanner, the clipboard, and the Print dialog. Finally, Adam and Josh cover the two types of passwords you can use to protect your PDFs, explaining what each is good for. Preview is a veritable Swiss Army Knife. Don't miss out on the many ways it can make your life easier, including these capabilities: Import photos from your iPhone or iPad. Scan paper-based documents and images. Add a scanned page to an existing PDF. Take a screenshot that includes the pointer. Open hundreds of images in a single window. Trash unwanted images with a keystroke. Duplicate, rename, and move images without leaving Preview. Play a manually arranged slideshow of images or PDF pages. Create a PDF-based image catalog. Resize and change the resolution of images. Crop out undesirable content. Mark up screenshots with shapes and text labels. Magnify a portion of an image with a loupe. Add text captions and speech bubbles to photos. Tweak the white point and black point in photos. Make photos sepia or black-and-white. Edit...

    Abstract: Explore everything your Apple Watch can do in watchOS 6! Get to know your Apple Watch and customize it to help you focus on what you care about most. Tech expert Jeff Carlson helps you understand the watch mindset, pick the watch model that's right for you, set up its faces and their complications, get the notifications you want, handle communications, and learn how the controls and core apps work. Since its introduction in 2015, the Apple Watch has become the world's best-selling watch, as well as the most popular wearable digital device. During that time, Apple has also added five new watch product lines, vastly expanded the device's capabilities, and enabled developers to create entirely new apps and tools. The Apple Watch hides an enormous amount of technical complexity behind that unassuming touch screen, and with help from author Jeff Carlson, you'll unlock every last bit of its power. Take Control of Apple Watch is an expanded and updated reworking of Jeff's earlier book on this topic, Apple Watch: A Take Control Crash Course . This new book covers all Apple Watch models through Series 5, as well as all the new features introduced in watchOS 6. Jeff walks you through getting to know the Apple Watch (including how to pick one out if you haven't already), along with topics that teach you how to navigate among the watch's screens with the physical controls, taps on the screen, and Siri. You'll also find advice on customizing watch faces, taking advantage of the always-on screen in the Apple Watch Series 5, getting the notifications you want, handling text and voice communications, using Apple's core apps, and monitoring your heart rate, hearing, and monthly cycle to improve your overall health. A final chapter discusses taking care of your Apple Watch, including recharging, restarting, resetting, and restoring. Among the many topics covered in the book are: Picking out your own Apple Watch-covers models up through Series 5 Important actions you'll want to take when first setting up your watch Making watch face complications work for you Key settings that most people will want to know about Using the Control Center and Dock Understanding how the watch interacts with your iPhone Staying connected using a cellular-enabled Apple Watch model Tracking your exercise, even when you leave your iPhone at home Placing and receiving phone calls on the watch Using the Walkie-Talkie feature to chat with other Apple Watch owners Sending default (and cust...

    Abstract: Solve usability puzzles on Macs, iPhones, and iPads! When Apple introduced the Mac in 1984, its novel graphical interface revolutionized the way people thought about computers. Thanks to the Mac's graphical user interface, people quickly realized a computer could be both powerful and easy to use. That legendary ease of use, which carried on through the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and other products, helped Apple become the huge cultural force it is today. And yet, millions of people struggle to make sense of their modern Apple devices. (Indeed, that's the whole reason Take Control Books has existed since 2003!) Users wonder how to accomplish seemingly basic tasks, where to find important menu commands, why the screen is scrolling the "wrong" way, how to type characters that aren't on the keyboard, what gesture they can use to perform common operations on an iPhone or iPad, and why controls they want to use frequently are hidden. What happened to that ease of use, and why have Apple's user interfaces become so...mysterious? Apple Interface Mysteries aims to answer all those questions and many more. Michael E. Cohen, who is a Certified Usability Analyst (really!) as well as the author of numerous books on Apple products, also loves a good mystery. So he has done extensive research into the evolution of Apple's interfaces in an effort to explain how and why things are the way they are today-and more importantly, how you can find hidden controls and capabilities, solve the puzzles of Apple's seemingly opaque interfaces, and become a happier user in the process. After an introduction to basic concepts of usability (such as affordances , or cues that tell you how to use a control), Michael takes you on a fascinating journey through mysteriously complicated Mac interfaces such as menus, keyboards, mice, and the desktop. He then turns his attention to iOS/iPadOS, discussing the unique capabilities and limitations of small-screen, touch-oriented devices, including gestures, hidden buttons, and inscrutable onscreen keyboards. The book concludes with a chapter of "crime fighting tips" that help you unravel new perplexities as you encounter them. Unlike most of our books, the title of this one doesn't begin with the words "Take Control of...." That's because the focus is more on why than on how to , and it makes no attempt to be exhaustive. Rather, it's an explanation of some of the historical and technological factors that led to Apple's current user interfaces. But...

    Abstract: Version 4.1, updated January 25, 2020 Wrangling your web passwords can be easy and secure, thanks to 1Password , the popular password manager from AgileBits. In this book, Joe Kissell brings years of real-world 1Password experience into play to explain not only how to create, edit, and enter web login data easily , but also how to autofill contact and credit card info when shopping online, audit your passwords and generate better ones, handle two-factor authentication (2FA) , and sync and share passwords in various ways-including a hosted 1Password account (individual, family, or team), iCloud or Dropbox. The book focuses on 1Password 7 for Mac and Windows, but it also provides details and directions for the iOS and Android versions of 1Password. It briefly covers 1Password X, a chrome extension that brings 1Password to Chrome OS and Linux. Topics include: Meet 1Password: Set your master password, explore the various 1Password components, and decide on your ideal usage strategy. Master logins: In 1Password, a typical login contains a set of credentials used to sign in to a website. Find out how to create logins, sort them, search them, tag them, and more. You'll also find help with editing logins-for example, changing a password or adding further details. Understand password security: Get guidance on what makes for a good password, and read Joe's important Password Dos and Don'ts. A special topic covers how to perform a security audit in order to improve poor passwords quickly. Go beyond web logins: A primary point of 1Password is to speed up web logins, but 1Password can also store and autofill contact information (for more than one identity, even), along with credit card information. You'll also find advice on storing passwords for password-protected files and encrypted disk images, plus ideas for keeping track of confidential files, software licenses, scans of important cards or documents, and more. Sync your passwords: Discover which 1Password syncing solution is right for you: a hosted 1Password account, Dropbox, iCloud, a manually synced folder, or even device-to-device Wi-Fi sync. Share your passwords: Learn to store passwords in shared vaults within a family or team hosted account. You'll also discover the answers to key questions, including: What are my options for licensing 1Password? What are the differences between vaults in 1Password accounts and standalone vaults? Should I keep using my web browser's autofill feature? What about ...

    Abstract: Siri, Apple's voice-controlled digital assistant, has been around since 2011, when it debuted on the iPhone. But since then, it has become vastly more powerful and useful, and has spread across Apple's entire ecosystem-it now runs on iOS, macOS, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod. Siri can now listen and speak in a wide range of languages and accents, perform a long list of helpful day-to-day tasks, and keep you entertained in the process. Although Siri is easy to use, it's so multitalented that you might easily overlook some of its best features. In this book, former Macworld editor Scholle McFarland takes you deep into Siri's capabilities. You'll learn tons of tips and tricks about making the most of Siri. Discover how Siri can increase your efficiency and productivity, lend a hand when you're in the car or out for a jog, and even make it simpler to play music or find movies and TV shows to watch. Among many other things, this book teaches you: What hardware and software you need to use Siri How to change Siri's language and voice Ways to personalize Siri by telling it about yourself, your contacts, and more The numerous ways to activate Siri (by touch or by voice) How to use Siri with AirPods, wired earbuds, or third-party headphones What to do if the wrong device answers your "Hey Siri" request How to ask Siri about sports, math and conversions, time, food, movies, people, stocks, the weather, jokes, and random facts Tips for asking Siri follow-up questions How to control music (on any device, with or without an Apple Music subscription) Techniques for using Siri to get directions, set reminders and appointments, send messages and email, and take notes Ways to use Siri to search for files on your Mac What Siri can and can't do for you on an Apple TV or HomePod How to make and use Siri Shortcuts on an iOS device or Apple Watch Everything you need to know about your privacy where Siri is involved Plus bonus videos! Since Siri is an audio-based, interactive tool, there are some things that are more readily demonstrated than written about. So Scholle has put together a series of videos that illustrate techniques from her book, allowing you to see and hear exactly what happens as you use Siri. Whether you're new to Siri or a seasoned pro, you're sure to find lots of tricks and suggestions in this book to improve your experience of using Siri.

    Abstract: Updated November 21, 2019 For most of us, the one app we couldn't possibly live without is a web browser. You can do almost anything in a browser these days...but are you browsing with one hand tied behind your back? It's easy to get into inefficient browsing habits, but you might be surprised at what a little know-how about this everyday tool can do for your efficiency and happiness. Take Control of Your Browser , by veteran tech writer Robyn Weisman, helps you discover your browser's hidden talents, increase browsing speed, solve many common problems, and configure settings and extensions for maximum efficiency. If you're troubled by ads, frustrated by ineffective searches, or confused by inscrutable error messages, this book will help you overcome your problems. Beginners will find lots of practical how-to advice, and even power users will learn tips and tricks for better browsing. This book answers many common questions, including the following: What are the similarities and differences among browsers-and how can I choose the right browser (or more than one!) for my needs? What makes Chrome, Firefox, and Safari the "big three" browsers and why should I care? Is Internet Explorer still a good choice for Windows users? (Spoiler: no!) What about Microsoft Edge? When should I consider less-popular browsers such as Brave, Opera, Tor, and Vivaldi? What are my options if I accidentally close a tab or window (or lots of them) in my browser? How do I address the common problem of tab overload? What are the quickest ways to navigate through browser tabs and windows? Are bookmarks even a thing anymore?

    Abstract: Nowadays, it can be difficult to complete ordinary activities without placing your personal data online, but having your data online puts you at risk for theft, embarrassment, and all manner of trouble. In this book, Joe Kissell helps you to develop a sensible online privacy strategy, customized for your needs . Whether you have a Mac or PC, iOS or Android device, set-top box, or some other network-enabled gadget, you'll find practical advice that ordinary people need to handle common privacy needs (secret agents should look elsewhere). You'll learn how to enhance the privacy of your internet connection, web browsing, email messages, online chatting, social media interactions, and file sharing, as well as your mobile phone or tablet, and Internet of Things devices like webcams and thermostats. Parents will find important reminders about protecting a child's privacy. The book also includes Joe's carefully researched VPN recommendations. The book is packed with sidebars that help you get a handle on current topics in online privacy , including international travel, quantum computing, why you should beware of VPN reviews online, two-factor authentication, privacy and your ISP, understanding how ads can track you, and more. You'll receive savvy advice about topics such as these: Why worry? Learn who wants your private data, and why they want it. Even if you don't believe you have anything to hide, you almost certainly do, in the right context. Would you give just anyone your financial records or medical history? Didn't think so. Set your privacy meter: Develop your own personal privacy rules-everyone has different privacy buttons, and it's important to figure out which matter to you. Manage your Internet connection: Understand privacy risks, prevent snoops by securing your Wi-Fi network, and take key precautions to keep your data from leaking out. Also find advice on using a VPN, plus why you should never believe a VPN review that you read on the Internet-even if it seems like it was written by Joe! Browse and search the web: Learn what is revealed about you when you use the web. Avoid bogus websites, connect securely where possible, control your cookies and history, block ads, browse and search anonymously, and find out who is tracking you. Also, take steps to protect passwords and credit card data. Send and receive email: Find out how your email could be intercepted, consider when you want email to be extra private (such as when communicating wi...

    Abstract: In the days before personal computers and mobile devices, we had to rely on paper calendars and to-do lists to help us organize our time and activities. Now, we have powerful tools, like Apple's Calendar and Reminders, that are much more responsive to our needs. Put an event on your schedule, invite others to join, or set yourself an alarm (or more than one). Or, keep a list of to-do items, add to it and view it on all your Apple devices, and share your list with family or friends. In this book, veteran Mac journalist and editor Scholle McFarland will guide you through getting to know these incredibly helpful apps, including lesser-known (but handy) features. For example, did you know that in Calendar you can set an alert for when you need to leave for an event, based on the travel time calculated using the location you entered for the event? Or that Reminders can prompt you to do something not only at a certain time, but also once you've reached a specific destination, like the grocery store? If you've never taken the opportunity to explore Calendar and Reminders, this book will show you how to make them an important part of your daily routine. If you've already been using Calendar and Reminders, you'll learn how to use them more effectively, troubleshoot common problems, and delve deeper into their capabilities. This fully revised second edition is now fully up to date with Catalina and iOS 13/iPadOS 13, and it has been expanded with new topics and lots of additional tips. Let Scholle walk you through how to get the best out of Calendar and Reminders, including how to: Customize Calendar to your liking, from setting time zones, to color coding specific calendars Create events, making them repeat at regular intervals or on certain dates Set up notifications and alerts, so you never miss an event Invite people to events, or share your calendar with them Create, manage, and share lists in Reminders Set alarms in Reminders at a certain time or a certain place Use Siri to save time when creating events or reminders Use Siri Shortcuts to automate common tasks with Calendar and Reminders Easily check events and reminders on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch Troubleshoot common problems in Calendar and Reminders Share calendars and reminders using iCloud Family Sharing Sort reminders on your Mac Print a calendar (to paper or PDF)

    Abstract: Perhaps you already have a Wi-Fi network running in your home and office, but you're dissatisfied with it. Or maybe you're setting up a new house, apartment, business, or school room with Wi-Fi and need to know the basics about what to get and how to configure it. In either case, this book is for you. After over 16 years of writing regularly about Wi-Fi and answering reader questions, author Glenn Fleishman finds that the same issues still crop up: How do I spend the least money to the best effect? What's the best place to put my Wi-Fi gateways? How can I get both high throughput (speed) on my network and solid coverage across everywhere I want to use Wi-Fi? What can I do to secure my network against outsiders near my house and elsewhere on the internet? How do I add networked hard drives and printers? Interference is slowing my network; what can I do to reduce it? What's the best way to extend my network to a garage, yard, or nearby building? This book answers those questions in depth, as well as many others related to Wi-Fi, including how to set up a personal or mobile hotspot with all major operating systems, how to access computers on your network remotely, and why you should use a VPN (virtual private network). If you have any question about overhauling your network, setting up a new one, or just finally figuring out something that's never worked, this book has the answer. Covers macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS.

    Abstract: Being productive is never as simple as putting items on a calendar or to do list and checking them off. Most of us struggle with too much to do, too little time, and only a vague idea of how to plan each day so we can achieve the best results with the least stress. If that sounds like you (and especially if you've tried a bunch of productivity systems and found them lacking), Jeff Porten's expert guidance may be just what you need. As a professional technology consultant and an early adopter of both hardware and software, Jeff has tried nearly every productivity management system out there, and experimented with dozens of implementation styles. He brings his decades of experience to this book, helping you create a customized strategy that's ideal for your needs, and-crucially-avoid common mistakes. Whether you're a productivity junkie or someone who has struggled for years with a cobbled-together, informal task-management system, this book will help you get a much better grip on your personal and business time. In this book, you'll: Review the principles of successful planning-whether for immediate projects or for long-term and someday goals. Understand your natural working style and preferences, including comfortable habits that may not be productive but that you don't want to change, and create a more effective workflow that fits you. Discover the best ways to think about projects, tasks, events, due dates, flags, contexts, and more. Choose a task-management app that's appropriate for your needs, no matter what devices and operating systems you use, and that integrates with your calendar, reminders, notes, and the apps you use to actually do things. Develop a step-by-step process for tracking all your events and tasks and ensuring that everything happens in the right order. Transition from an old system to your new system without worrying that anything will fall through the cracks. Learn exactly how to keep track of all the things you need to remember throughout the day. Improve your time-estimation skills when planning how long future tasks and projects will take. Solve the problem of "10-minute tasks" that become all-day projects because they have a dozen things you discover you need to do first. Get better at managing other people (and their expectations of you). Review how well your productivity system has worked over time, using feedback loops and suggested best practices to continually improve your workflow. Fail successfully! If somet...

    Abstract: Wrangling your web passwords can be easy and secure, thanks to 1Password , the popular password manager from AgileBits. In this book, Joe Kissell brings years of real-world 1Password experience into play to explain not only how to create, edit, and enter web login data easily , but also how to autofill contact and credit card info when shopping online, audit your passwords and generate better ones, handle two-factor authentication (2FA) , and sync and share passwords in various ways-including a hosted 1Password account (individual, family, or team), iCloud or Dropbox. The book focuses on 1Password 7 for Mac and Windows, but it also provides details and directions for the iOS and Android versions of 1Password. It briefly covers 1Password X, a chrome extension that brings 1Password to Chrome OS and Linux. Topics include: Meet 1Password: Set your master password, explore the various 1Password components, and decide on your ideal usage strategy. Master logins: In 1Password, a typical login contains a set of credentials used to sign in to a website. Find out how to create logins, sort them, search them, tag them, and more. You'll also find help with editing logins-for example, changing a password or adding further details. Understand password security: Get guidance on what makes for a good password, and read Joe's important Password Dos and Don'ts. A special topic covers how to perform a security audit in order to improve poor passwords quickly. Go beyond web logins: A primary point of 1Password is to speed up web logins, but 1Password can also store and autofill contact information (for more than one identity, even), along with credit card information. You'll also find advice on storing passwords for password-protected files and encrypted disk images, plus ideas for keeping track of confidential files, software licenses, scans of important cards or documents, and more. Sync your passwords: Discover which 1Password syncing solution is right for you: a hosted 1Password account, Dropbox, iCloud, a manually synced folder, or even device-to-device Wi-Fi sync. Share your passwords: Learn to store passwords in shared vaults within a family or team hosted account. You'll also discover the answers to key questions, including: What are my options for licensing 1Password? What are the differences between vaults in 1Password accounts and standalone vaults? Should I keep using my web browser's autofill feature? What about iCloud Keychain? Should I use that too...

    Abstract: How do you want to be remembered by future generations? You can make a will to handle your physical possessions, but what about your digital life-photos, videos, email, documents, and the like? This ebook, written by tech expert Joe Kissell, covers many aspects of preserving such electronic ephemera as part of your digital legacy. If you're not at the stage of life where you can think about this for yourself, consider that you may have to do so for your parents or other relatives. It's not all about posterity either , since following Joe's advice will also help loved ones access your key accounts and important info if you're incapacitated, which can happen at any time. The book will help you with these essential tasks: Identify your key digital assets: online accounts, photos, audio files, videos, passwords, documents, email, and more. Plan for each type of digital asset based on your priorities for today, for shortly after you are no longer around, and for posterity. Joe explains the ideal file formats to use, how to deal with social media sites, the best ways to digitize paper documents and photos, and strategies for sharing passwords with family members, among much else. Communicate your wishes in a "digital will" and designate someone to be its "digital executor." The book includes a template document that you can develop into a personalized digital will. Preserve your data for the future. You'll consider types of archival storage media, cloud-based storage services, backups, and what instructions to provide about maintaining your data as file formats and storage media types evolve. Whether you just want to ensure that your heirs get copies of your favorite family photos and a few key documents or you want to catalog and preserve tens of thousands of digital items, this book helps you make smart decisions about your digital legacy . Questions answered include: What strategies can I use for sorting and preserving email? How can I ensure that my email account will be available to those wrapping up my estate? What if I have digital data that should be destroyed when I die? What should I do with my huge photo collection (both digital and paper)? How can I make my passwords available to those who will need them-but keep them private for now? What should I think about when handing down purchased audio and video files? What should happen to my Facebook account when I'm no longer around? What choices are available for keeping my digital archive av...
