Buying books for iBook on iPad from other countries - any ideas?

Can anyone tell me if they have been able to buy books from other countries for iPad if they are not available in their own country.  I am from Australia and want to purchase "Cold Comfort Farm" by Stella Gibbons.  Thanks Elizabeth

If it is not available in your country it is probably because Apple has not yet negotiated the required distribution rights.  The fix is to use another ereader app, like Kindle, Nook, or Googlebooks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

    You cannot.

  • Costs of books for ibooks higher

    Is there anything to do about the higher costs of books for ibooks? Can you read books purchased at Barnes and Noble on Ibooks? It's just that it's hard to purchase from Ibooks when I can pay $4.99 for a book that costs $6.99 on ibooks.

    You can do it, but it requires breaking the law. You have to strip the DRM protection from the eBooks purchased elsewhere, then use a programme to convert the B&N eBook into an ePub (which is what Apple uses). It is extremely complicated, and not for the faint of heart -- plus, you have to scour around the internet for the programme.
    But it can be done.
    BTW, with all due respect, you haven't thought out your gripe correctly. I'm talking of the part of your post above, where you intimate that you should be able to read books purchased at one site, on an Apple device, which has its own store.
    If you went to Barnes & Noble and bought a book, but then lost it, and your only option was to buy it at another bookstore, would you tell them, "I want to take this book home, because I already bought it at another bookstore"? Of course not. Your purchase rights begin and end with the particular item you bought, once.

    Hi Noahvance3,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are unable to make purchase due to a forgoteen Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Dictionary for iBooks on iPad

    One disappointment for iPad has been that I am unable to find how the dictionary works, or if there is even a dictionary. On my Kindle, it wa as easy as putting the curser over any unfamiliar word. Is any such similar feature available for iBooks on iPad ?( I purchased The New Oxford american Dictionary on Amazon.com)

    Hi,
    Try the help here. iPad iBooks - Dictionary, Search and Bookmark Features
    I've had good luck using the instructions at that link. The iPad uses a built in dictionary.
    Works on PDF files as well.

  • Does Anyone Know How to Buy from Other Countries' iTunes

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to buy from other countries' iTunes, because I live in the US and have a US credit card, but alot of the songs I want only seem to be available on the French site.
    Does anyone know if theres some sort of way around this? Would it be possible to, say, buy French iTunes gift cards?

    No, you cannot due to Licensing and copyright issues, which vary from country to country. Unless you have a billing adress in France, you will not be able to purchase from the French iTunes store. Having a gift card from there will not help, because you need to also have a French Billing adress. Sorry,

    Is a mini iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular ready to be used with any telephone company including companies from other countries?

    Different countries have different mobile phone systems which work on different standards.  An iPad sold in country C will work with whatever phone systems in country C support it.  It is not guarenteed to work with every mobile phone system all over the world.

  • How can I download from other countries iTunes Stores?

    I want to download from other countries iTunes stores but I have of course not a credit card for each of these countries and I can use my e-mail address only once (logically )to register. Any chance that I can download from i.E. the French store when I live in the UK?
    Thanks for helping me if possible

    Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.
