devices and can be downloaded and played, on demand. See iTunes Match on page 55.

Apps and Books—Download your previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to
iPod touch for free, any time.

people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments. See iCloud Photo
Sharing on page 63 and My Photo Stream on page 64.
