Hi. I was meaning that if you want to read an actual ibook you purchased on the mac, or a kindle book you couldn’t do that with this app. Still if it reads pdf’s and bookshare books well and with the free epub book available online it might be a worth while investment. Would still love to be able to read my kindle books on the mac.
