Hi all, When will these apps be accessible on the Mack? Thank Becky Sabo -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicholas Parsons Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ibooks Coming to the Mac
HI Brian, Yes, iBooks is mainly for reading books, though it's also a nice way to read any unprotected PDF files. It's generally a really good PDF and eBook reader, and it makes available a lot of books that aren't available elsewhere in audiobook format or from other libraries that cater to the blind. Currently, the best way to read DRM protected eBooks on the Mac is with Adobe Digital Editions, but this is not the easiest to navigate. So iBooks on the Mac will hopefully offer a whole new range of content which can be accessibly read on the Mac. Podcasts and RSS readers are great, but they don't have the same content as can be found on the various eBook stores. Same goes for the other libraries available to the blind which generally have relatively limited content. So, sounds like you're not missing out on anything if you're not a big reader. :) I'm really looking forward to Amazon making the Kindle app accessible on the Mac. Having both Kindle and iBooks on OS X and iOS would be brilliant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
