Can you download and read books with the iPad?

Can you download and read books with the iPad?

Yes. There is the free iBooks app  which then allows you to download books from Apple's book store. Kindle also has an app and there are other e-reader apps.
The one thing to consider, the iPad is a backlit screen, so it's like reading off a comptuer screen. Some have issues with eye strain so just bear that in mind.

  • Can you use a sim card with the ipad??

    I am planning on buying an ipad, but was wondering if there was a sim card option for it. I will be mostly using it in a country where wifi is very scarce. Any input?
    Also, what do they mean by 3G enabled.
    Thank you so much for your help!!!

    A lot depends on how much you intend to use it when away from home.
    Would you be in the vicinity of Wifi hotspots?
    The 3G model costs £100 more (an extra 25% of the cheapest model) plus whatever your data plan is.
    If you are not regularly in the vicinity of hotspots, and not likely to be a heavy user, the cheaper option is to purchase a Mifi (yes, Mifi) device from a network such as 3. It is the size of a small mobile phone and connects wirelessly to your iPad. The device and a 12gb download over 12 months costs very little more than the extra price for the 3G model. Other plans are also available with the 3 network. Google 3 Mifi.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204387 Can you pair an iPhone 4S with the ipad 3rd generation

    Does anyone know if you can pair an iPhone 4S with the 3rd generation iPad? Please help

    Only to tether, otherwise you can't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported on any iPhone.

  • Can you tape a basketball game with the ipad

    I want to tape a basketball game, can I use the ipad or do I need a special app

    The app you use to view the game would need to provide recording capability. Most likely you'll need to do this on a computer where you can capture the screen, unless you're willing to just use a video camera to film your iPad's screen.
    Regards.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

    How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

  • Can you read books on the ipad in direct sunlight

    Not very easily no. If you can get a non-reflective screen cover it might be a bit better, but it probably still won't be as good as, for example, a Kindle device is.

  • Can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US

    Since this a Windows tablet, can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US?
    I know there is a micro-sd reader for additional storage but can you use the usb for external hard drives like a regular pc?
    I tried looking at the spec's for this tablet and it said the usb port was host only. I'm not sure what that means exactly.

    Yes you can.  You'll need to purchase a USB OTG (on-the-go) cable.  I recommend using a drive that has its own power supply but I've successfully used small USB powered drives also.

  • Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

    Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time?  If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???    

    I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here.  Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
    Q:Did you download from this location?  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
    A: Yes
    Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
    A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
    Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error.  An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again.  If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support.  I did so and was told "This page is not available"
    Q: Did you try to download again and install?
    A:  Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB.  I tried many other devices; none worked.

  • Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?

    Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?  When I installed, I was not prompted for any licenses or to purchase anything.
    I want to know why this is possible and if there are plans to charge for it in the future?

    I don't know Oracle's ATS products specifically, but many of Oracle's products can be downloaded and used for free for learning purposes.
    Typically, if you intend to use the products commercially then you need to pay for a licence, otherwise you are using it illegally.
    This is usually described in the T&C's you agree to when you download the software.
