hi ronni many thanks for that, i have put a copy of the manual onto my ipad... hehehe, for fast reference :)
the 1st copy i bought was epub for digital edition - that doesnt seem to be right when i tried d/l'ing it. found out it had a suffix of ACSM when i d/l'ed it. then bought the ipad version, then found out i cant d/l it onto my ipad via lappy - have to do it directly from ipad, and i cant access the internet on ipad as got no wifi at home and no microSIM yet. going out today (the wonders of shopping centres open on sunday trading!!!!!) to get my USB internet stick changed to the pocket wifi thing. :) then linking my ipad and lappy to it... many thanks to those who helped...!!! regards lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronda Brown" <[email protected]> To: "WAMUG Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 19 December, 2010 12:24:00 PM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi Subject: Re: ebook format - from lappy to ipad Hi Lynn, You need to download the 'Free' iBooks.app from the App Store. You need an iTunes Store Account (but the iBooks.app is Free) This is all in the Manual 0iPad User Guide' which I sent the link to you previously. Chapter 15 - iBooks. iBooks.app reads ePUB & PDFs. Then Sync your ePub etc using iTunes: "Use iTunes to sync your books with iPad. When iPad is connected to your computer, the Books pane lets you choose which books to sync. In addition to books that you download from iBookstore, iBooks works with books that are in ePub format and DRM-free. There are several websites that offer ePub books, and many of these books can be used with iBooks. Add an ePub book: Download the book using your computer, then add it to your iTunes library. Connect iPad to your computer, select the book in the Books pane in iTunes, then sync iPad." Download and read the below Manual. < http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_User_Guide.pdf > < http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad > Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 8GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 18/12/2010, at 8:34 PM, [email protected] wrote: Hi i have just bought an ebook in the format of 'ePub for digital editions' format. i have tried dragging it onto my ipad via itunes, but it wouldnt let me. i am doing it via my lappy is because i dont have the internet on my ipad yet. do i have to get the ipad version of the ebook? dont forget i have to get it onto my ipad via lappy. many thanks and regards lynn -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
