How can I read books on my iPad 1?

I have an old IPad 1 and can't find a book reader app that I can load, on this old operating system.

Download the apps to iTunes on your computer. Once downloaded you can go to the purchased section in the App Store on the iPad and download a compatible version.
5.1.1 is the highest iOS for an original iPad, and I think most book reader apps need at least 4.3, so you might have to upgrade the iOS.

  • How can I read books purchased from iBooks on my Mac?

    I'm completely new to the whole Apple world and have ran across this issue.  How can I read books, that I've purchased through iBooks on my iPad or iPhone, on my Mac?  Surely this is possible, but I just can figure out how Apple intends for us to do this.
    If someone could please help me out with this information I would appreciate it.

    Or I can just purchase them from a competitor such as Kindle and read them on my Mac
    Sure seems short sighted on Apple's part not to have this functionality.  This will drive my purchasing decisions to Kindle.
    I'm sure that there has been plenty of negative feedback already directed to Apple for this decision.  Does anyone know whether or not they have listened and if they have any plans to correct this issue?

  • HT4059 how can i read books when not connected to wifi , at the moment have to g through apps store , which requires a connection . I want the books on the i pad not in  a acloud

    How can i read books purchased from i books when not connected to wifi . At the moment can only access via app store , which can only do when connected . I want top download to the device , not keep in a cloud!

    If you download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on your iPad then they should show in the Books collection on the app's bookshelf - and you should be able to read any books that you download from the store to your bookshelf without needing to be online.

  • Can you read books on the ipad in direct sunlight

    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.

  • How can I read books from the library on my iPad?

    I've downloaded Over Drive and Bluefire in an attempt to read books downloaded from the library.  Although both libraries say it's easy to transfer from my home computer to the iPad, nothing has worked so far.  Has anyone had success?

    Remove, but not uninstall from the device?  Where would they go if you did that?
    Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
    There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
    Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps.

  • How can I read books I have bought in ibooks in my Laptop

    I have an iPhone 4 and I have bought some books using iBook, normally I am reading those in my iPhone but I want to know if there is a way to read them in my laptop using windows XP - Professional.

    No, you made the right choice, you really do need the capabilities of a real computer for college, there are whole lot of things an iPad cannot do.
    Apple has posted a notice on every iBooks purchase page for over 2 years now that they can only be read on an iOS device, so that is nothing new in any case.  But you can always buy your books instead from Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks and read them on your laptop.

  • How can I get books on my iPad that I already purchased in person without paying for them again?

    I have a lot of paperback books that I'd like to upload onto my iPad, but I don't want to buy them AGAIN in the iBooks store. Is there any way I can get them onto my iPad for free?

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How can I read books on an IPAD1 with OS 5.1.1

    Anyone?

    What problem are you having ? If you want to download the iBooks app then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
    Or is it a different problem that you are having ?

  • If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    First, epub has nothing to do with size, it is a file format that is popularly used for ebooks, but ebooks published in epub file formats vary greatly in file size.
    It will depend on where you buy it.  Many books are DRM locked (Digital Rights Management, a software lock).  If so, in order to load it into another companies reader or reader software, you need to use something like Adobe Digital Editions to "authorize" the book on the device.  Apple's iBook software does not work with ADE.
    If the book was DRM free, you should be able to read it in any ereader or ereader program that supports epub format.
    If the book is DRM locked to B&N, Amazon, Kobo or whichever seller you shopped from, then the simples thing is to download their free app for the iPad (they all make one, in fact they all make free apps for iPad, Android, Mac OS X and Windows).
    So the short answer is yes, you should be able to read any epub ebook file on an iPad, although not necessarily in iBook.
    So, books from
    Amazon - get the Kindle reader app
    B&N - get the Nook reader app
    Kobo - get the Kobo reader app
    non-DRM epubs can be read in iBook, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play
