Hi,, Thanks a lot for the IText Express recommendation. It reads Nook books well. I've tried with the free samples. I don't know anything about Kolbo, so can't say as to whether this app wil read them or not. The Nook app for the IOS devices is really nice, too. I'm excited by what this

Hi, I was wondering if there are any EBook readers for the Mac? I know that there used to be Stanza, but I heard that Stanza was broken. I'd just like to be able to read Ebooks on something other than the iDevices using either iBooks or Nook. Thanks for your help, Brianna -- You

Adobe Digital Editions works on the Mac but it still doesn't automatically scroll pages which does slow things down some. If one really hates that, it is possible to copy and paste each page into an editor like Text Edit and then either turn it into audio or read with the editor. Just remember

Hello Brianna, Adobe Digital Editions works for reading ebooks, but not iBooks, on the Mac. As far as I know, there is no way of reading iBooks on anything but an idevice. Adobe Digital Editions can read quite a number of DRM protected formats including Kobo and Nook. Cheers, Anne g On 12

Yes, this is correct; I apologize if you were asking about iBooks. IBooks with an i and ebooks with an e don't sound the same on my computer but the one with an i does sound like ebooks with an e should sound. Guess i'll have to fix that in pronunciation. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth

Hi. Another alternative to both stanza and Adobe is iText Express, free on the Mac App Store. I know that this app can read ePub formatted ebooks, but not books that you have purchased in iBooks it's self. I'm not sure what other formats it can read. Give it a try, its free. HTH. On 2012-12-12,

Hi, I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I didn't mean IBooks, I know that only the IOs IBOoks app can only do iBooks, and nothing else can. I want to give IText Express a try. Does that read Nook books? I'm thinking of making an account for that, since I found out that nook books are

Wait So if I want to read iBooks I've purchased for my iPhone on the Mac, I cannot do this? That seems a bit stupid on Apple's part. You would think they would want to make things you do work just as well with the Mac as with iDevices. Wow. That's a shame. Scott On 12/12/12, Cheryl Homiak

iBooks on the mac (was EBook reader for Mac?)

I once read an article that put forth a theory for this. Consider that a great deal of Apple's iBooks are textbooks, and that people who read books (text or not) often do it while out and about, or on the couch, or at the table, or other places that aren't in front of their computers. Now

That's because the iBooks are DRM protected. What they need to do is have a Mac version of iBooks. You can't open the epub files with Stanza or anything else because of the DRM. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind Tel, (631) 724-4479 Email, j...@macfortheblind.com
