New in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17
In the past Apple has made the User Guides available via the Web and also for Apple Books. The User Guides for iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are only available via the Web.
Apple has published PDFs detailing the changes.

Accessibility and the iPad
As we age, some accessibility issues are more common, such as vision problems. Choosing helpful features can be confusing, but a New Zealand teacher has created a PDF showcasing iPadOS features.
The information is for teachers and students, but I believe it is relevant for anybody.
Log in using your Apple ID to download the ‘Overview’ PDF near the foot of the page. Each QR code shown is a link to a short video (one or two minutes) explaining the feature.
