Technical stuff for reading Guru

Want the best reading experience for Guru? Here’s some tips…

We designed Guru so that it could be read on a tablet (like an iPad),on a Smartphone or an iPod Touch. It should be simple, but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. The downloaded version is more ‘interactive’ than the online version. You can tap on item in the contents to take you to the article you want to read.

There’s also lots of web links to tap on to explore more about the topics discussed in the articles (although you’ll need to be connected to the internet to view them)

At the end of every article is a little Guru ‘G’ – if you tap on it, it will take you back to the contents page.

Reading on a iPhone or iPad

When you’ve downloaded Guru magazine, it is much easier to read in a programme called iBooks. It should come on your iPad or iPhone already, but if it isn’t you can get it here.

When it’s downloaded (should take less than a minute with a good internet connection) tap on the “Open in iBooks” button in the top right corner:

Now you can move between pages by just swiping left and right with your finger. The magazine will now also be saved onto your iPad/Smartphone memory so you can read it on the go…

Where did my Guru Magazine go?

When you want to read Guru at a later date, all you need to do is open up iBooks on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch:

You will now see your book collection…

To view your Guru magazine, you need to tap on ‘Collections’ in the top left and choose ‘PDFs’:

Now you will see your magazines, and providing you have opened Guru up at least once in iBooks, it will be nestled there amongst your other PDFS…
