I would like to point out to those who are planning to just convert Bookshare books to ePub rather than buying the Read2Go app, that they will save a ton of time by buying the app. It takes on average about 10 seconds to download most books into the app. Once you have an ePub file though, just open it in iTunes and you can then sync with your device.

Yes, search the list archives for converting to ePub, or Stanza and Bookshare and you should find lots of information.

Richard, I was just asking if there is a way to make another file type ePub. Gave too much information! Being careful typing and not paying attention to what I was writing. Sorry!

My understanding is that all iBooks are ePub, but iBooks are protected so you cannot change them if you down loaded the book using iBooks.

Talking about epub books, are all books from iBooks ePub? If not, will I have to change them? I am going to read a book for bookshare in this format and would like instructions on how to change it if necessary. Thanks!

If you want to jump through a bunch of hoops to say the $19.99 you could use the XML file from the zip file and then use Stanza to create an ePub version and read it in iBooks, or something else. You could even convert it to simple .txt and read it in a number of apps. If you are not familiar with Stanza, I'd search the archives of this group. There are detailed instructions how to convert Bookshare books using Stanza. HTH, Richard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin W.

Hello folks, I'm just wondering if there are any alternatives to the Read2Go iOS app for reading Bookshare content on my iPhone. $19.99 is a bit steep for an applaud if there are any free or low-cost alternatives I can use, I would be grateful for any suggestions.
