How do I put my ePub books back in iBooks?

I purchased some hardcover books from Baen Books and got free cds with the epub format of the books on them.
I downloaded the ePub to Dropbox, and selected open in iBooks to add them to my iBook library.  With the most recent downgrade ("update?") to iBooks, all of those books were deleted, and when I went to Dropbox to put them back, I am told that this file format is not supported.
Do I have any alternative other than switching to Android?  I would rather not switch, as I have bought just about every Apple computer since my Apple II, (I even had a Lisa) and currently have 4 iMacs, a Mac Mini, 4 iPads, 3 iPodTouch, and 4 iPhones active in my household.  If I switch, I cannot just buy one device, as I do not want to support multiple platforms. So I will have to replace all my devices.

Problem Solved!
I was able to download NeoSoarBook reader from the App Store and download my deleted books that way.
I am really not wanting to convert to Android!

    The important thing to remember abuout iPhoto is that it's a database. And like any db, the data must be imported into it. By default, when you import the pics to iPhoto they are copied into the iPhoto Package File in your Pictures Folder. If you have NOT changed the default, then yes, you can trash the pics outside of the iPhoto Package File.
    Most people do this.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

    How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
    After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
    Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

    Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.
    You will need to contact support through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    Hello, what OSX version?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    Hi,
    Yes you are miss understanding the problem.  To clarify. The problem is not how to delete the book from a device, it is how to delete the puchase (i.e. the history).  You can hide it in your account settings, but you cannot delete it. So if you buy something on a shared account (i.e. a family account like mine), your children can see and download any of your puchases - forever.
    Some will say it's for your protection.  A bit like the shop looking after your receipt, so that you cannot lose it.
    However, I thought that as part of the data protection act, you could ask for this information kept about you to be deleted, but this doesn't apply to Apple purchases.  Believe me I've tried.

  • HT1473 How to I put an audio book from my computer onto my iPod touch4

    Hi, I got an audio book from my library and want to put it onto my iPod but I'm not sure how to.

    But when I hook my iPod up to the computer and view its "files and folders" then drop the file in nothing happens. It's the same if I try to drop it any where else.

  • How do I get my kindle books back after IOS7?

    Got my books back!  After losing them in IOS7 update, I figured how to get them back. Upgrade Kindle. Fo to each cover and press on it till window pops up. Option is to remove this device   Choose. Go back and press on cover again. Option this time is reload. Do it. Solution.

    Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you may find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly disabled their devices.

  • The page layouts for a book created in iPhoto are blank. How do I get the original book back?

    I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.7.5, Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Processor 2.53GHz, Intel Core 15. iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3.
    I created an iPhoto book using iPhoto '9 in 2010. I bought the book and now want to buy another book. When I went to iPhoto, I discovered that all of the pages are blank. In the thumbnail for photos in project, the photos that I used are checked. Now I see that other photos for different books also show in the "photos in project" panel. Should I delete these foreign photos? How do I get the original book pages/layout back? Help! Patnd

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • How do I get an epub book into IBook to read on my iPad

    I have a lot of eBooks, used on a Kindle and have tried to get iBook to see them on my iPad. It does not.
    1. I converted from azw to epub with Calibre
    2. I tried dragging and dropping the file onto iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad which didn't work.
    3. I used Add to Library from the File menu and they imported ending up in iTunes->Library->Books.
    4. I tried dragging each book from iTunes->Library->Book to iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad and it would not work
    5. I Synched my iPad and cannot find any of the epub books with iBook. Nothing but Winnie the Poo which came with iBooks.
    What and I doing wrong?

    There are some threads on the use of Calibre with the iPad on their forums. This thread might be of help:

    and if not searching that forum for "iPad" may turn up additional suggestions.
    Good luck.

  • HT5071 How does Apple decide when a book - created in iBooks Author - is free versus when it is paid?

    I am considering creating a book made with iBooks Author but have a couple of unanswered questions. What determines how Apple chooses whether my book can make it into the ranks of being a paid book? In other words, I don't want to put a whole bunch of time and effort into creating a book that I want to sell, only to have Apple decide that the book can only be downloaded for free. Is there a way to guarantee that my book will be eligible to sell (as opposed to giving it away for free)? What are the requirements for creating a paid book in iBooks Author?

    There are no guarantees.
    I'm not sure, however, that if Apple decided it wasn't fit for publishing under a paid contract that they would then turn around and accept it as free, sorry. There are too many details involved and I'd think if you want it in the store you'd work to make it acceptable all around.
    See Apple - iTunes - Partner Programs - Book Publishers for publishing details.
