Can I share books I bought with another iPad user?

My wife and I each have an iPad. She's just bought a book via the iBooks app which she loves and would like for me to read it. Is there some way she can share that with me? Without me having to buy another copy? Or use her iPad?

Hardly should be called piracy since she bought it with "our" money. Had she bought the book at Barnes and Nobles, she would pass it along. A bit of a problem with ebook readers.
However, we do share iTunes accounts so we can "share" the books we buy that way.
thanks for the very quick reply.

    How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

    You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

  • Can I share a paid app with another iPad in my family

    Can I share a paid app with another family member

    the key to sharing apps is that they all have to be on the same Apple ID. So if you have the same Apple ID on all the devices, they can share apps.
    You may want to research into messages, etc because that can be one of the pitfalls of sharing the ID's.

  • How can you share a iPhoto library with another account user

    I have recently seen the light and swapped from Windows to my lovely new iMac. However I am rather confused how I can configure my iPhoto library so my wife can view the same library in her account on the same machine (this was a simple thing within Windows, using shared folders). Am I missing something or do I have to duplicate the same library and place into my wife's account and then update each time we upload some photo's? Please help!

    This may not be the "neatest" solution possible, but it's one that works. Just as iPhoto makes it easy to share photos between computers on the same network, you can also share photos between accounts on the same computer; but you'll have to be logged in with iPhoto running.
    1) Configure iPhoto in your account for photo sharing (from iPhoto, select Preferences > Sharing> Share my photos).
    2) Enable fast user switching from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options. This is the key to the process, which will allow you to remain logged in while your wife is also logged in. It's also a very handy feature if you and your wife use the computer a lot from your own accounts.
    3) Enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events" from System Preferences > Sharing > Services. [I had already done this step, so I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary]
    4) With iPhoto up and running in your account, use Fast User Switching to log into your wife's account (ie, you remain logged-in). [The Fast User Switching menu will be in the upper right of the main menu bar.]
    5) From her iPhoto preferences, select Sharing > "Look for shared photos" if it's not already switched on.
    Your photos will magically appear in the left hand column of your wife's iPhoto application using the name you designated in your copy of iPhoto.
    Caveats: performance is not very good, you must be logged in and have iPhoto running, HP printers (if you have one) don't work well with fast user switching
    Other solutions might be possible by "drilling a hole" into your account by altering the Unix permissions. I've used this technique to make my iTunes library available to other users on my machine. Such a solution would no doubt improve performance.
    Finally, there are third-party products that allow you to manage multiple iPhoto libraries. I've never used these, but they might allow you to load the iPhoto library from another account assuming permissions are properly set.
    Hope this is of some use; I'm sorry if it's a little more complicated than you might have expected.

    You can convert your file to a .dng file and that will encapsulate the meta data into the file instead of it being in a separate side car file!

  • Can I Use Game Center With Another iPad User?

    Am I able to play a game simultaneously with another iPad user by using game center? For example, can we play a hangman game against each other from different locations if we do it through game center? And if so, how?
    Thank you.

    This is possible, however it is not as easy as that.
    If you want to allow someone to have access to a purchase you have made on your Apple ID, you must log into their device with your Apple ID and download that purchase..You would then simply log back out again.
    Every purchase you make with your Apple ID gives you the licence to store the purchase accross 5 devices.
    On the other persons device, go to Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out.
    Sign into their device the same way, then go into iBooks > Store > Purchased, and download your book.
    Once downloaded, go back into Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out, then sign back in with their Apple ID.

  • TS3367 I am using Ipad mini face time with another Ipad user in Shanghai, but after a few seconds, I got black screen, saying poor connection and that's it. Very frustrated. Any idea?

    I am having problems of using Face time. I signed in and connected with another Ipad Mini in Shanghai, but while the other side could see me all the time, my screen turned black after a few seconds, and saying "poor connection". It happened all the time, I started to use skype, but it is crazy of having a new mini, and having this device. It  is very frustrating. 

    Find a location with a faster Internet connection. The slow connection message is telling you you have a slow connection or one that's too busy.
