How do I read an iBook on my computer? Adobe Digital doesn't cut it

Clicking on the iBook in iTunes doesn't work. If I use Spotlight, I can see the .epub version of it. Clicking on that in the Finder opens Adobe Digital Editions with blank text screen.
Can see the ToC in sidebar. That's it.
This is way too many procedures to read a book.

Books purchased via the iTunes bookstore are encumbered with Apple's DRM.
Apple don't make a reader application for DRM'd .epub books that runs on a Mac (or a PC either).
They are meant to be read on an iOS device, as should be clear from the terms and conditions.

    How do I read an ibook on a windows pc?

    You can't unless the book is one of the public domain books from Project Gutenberg and hence has no copy protection. Commercial iBooks can be read only on iOS devices.

  • How can I read my Ibooks saved on an Ipad on a PC with windows 7??

    Hi,
    How can I read information saved on IBooks on an Ipad on to a PC with Windows 7? How can the devices (PC and IPad) be synchronised, in a similar manner to the way emails are linked?

  • How to authorize more than one device on my adobe digital editions Ebook reader

    I have a computer, iPhone and iPad, and can't read a downloaded ebook (EPUB) on more than one device  at a time. If I try to open the item on my Overdrive account with a device other than the one I originally used when I downloaded the ebokk,  it gives me an error code "Fullfill  2004. This license has already been fulfilled by another user".  When I contacted Overdrive Media  they explained that I need to contact Adobe to authorize my various devices to have access to my Overdrive account which utilizes Adobe digital editions 4.0
    Please provide info on how to authorize my additional devises to have access to downloaded e-books  on my overdrive account

    Please authorize your devices with same credentials in order to read the book across devices.
    thanks

  • How do I read a downloaded PDR file in Adobe and not Preview?

  • Why Can I not read my iBooks on my computer?

    I've joined this simply to ask this quesiton and i am beyond annoyed at the fact that i cannot read any of my ibooks on anything but my iPod which i've dropped and smashed. I wish to continue to read them on the computer and cannot.

    It is possible to read some ebooks without an iOS device -- those in the epub format which do not have DRM.  Usually free books are like that, and some publishers of paid books (like O'Reilly) also omit DRM.  Apps like Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre can be used for ebooks in this category.

  • How do I change my device authorisation details in Adobe Digital Editions?

    I recently changed my email and have updated my Adobe ID but Adobe Digital Editions still holds the old ID and doesn't seem to give me an option to change.  There are no instructions or FAQ's about the issue - only how to set an ID etc up. The only thing I've thought is to delete ADE from my computer and reload it, but I don't want to lose the books I have on there already....
    Cheers

    Do you want to de-authorize your ADE and Authorize back with your new account?
    To De-authorize:
    Go to Library view mode
    Press Ctrl+Shift+D
    To Authorize:
    Press Ctrl+Shift+U
    To know more about ADE and other shortcuts , download Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions
    Note: If you De-authorize and account and authorize again with a different account, you can't read the book already downloaded with the older account. You can also have a look at, http://www.datalogics.com/pdf/doc/acs/JointAccountGuide.pdf .

  • How do I open book on iPad that has adobe digital rights management?..

    How do I open a book on my iPad that is locked because it says that I need to open it by  using Adobe digital rights management.   I've downloaded the Adobe reader and it still won't work, help!

    The Adobe Reader does not support opening these books. I believe that the "BlueFire Reader" does support this though.

  • How to I get a ebook onto kindle from Adobe Digital Edtions?

    So I'm a book reviewer, and people send me books to review. Usually, I get them on the kindle app (not an actual kindle) on my phone, but for some reason when I got these ebooks, they were put on Adobe Digital instead. I'm really bad with computers and I can't get the ebooks onto my kindle app. Help?

    I'm afraid you probably.
    When you run out of authorizations completely Adobe will reset them all for you.
    Thay may be able to do that anyway, try ...
    Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html,
    or as a slight short cut try http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=digital-editions&topic=using-my-product-or-ser vice
    Click on 'I still need help' and then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.
    'Ask our experts' will indeed just lead you back to this forum.
    Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
    Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
    They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
    (Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
    Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
    in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
    If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

  • Saving a DRM book to pendrive/external disk to later download and read it on personal notebook (with Adobe Digital Editions)

    Hello.
    I installed Adobe Digital Editions on my mother's personal computer and activated my Adobe ID in order to be able to purchase, download and read DRM books there.
    But is it possible to save the DRM books to a pendrive or external hard disk, so that I can "carry them" and later download and read them on my personal notebook (having previously installed Adobe Digital Editions and activated my Adobe ID in the notebook)?
    I don't know if DRM books can be saved to pendrives and external hard disks...
    Barbara

    Incidentally, you do know that you can buy kindle or Nook apps for your ipad? I was assuming you wanted a DE-specific app.
    EDIT Actually, those apps are free--you just pay for what you buy through them, if that helps you any.
    Incidentally, O'Reilly, my publisher, uses PDF for real galley purposes, although they do create epub editions of their books for distribution. You might want to ask the publishers you work with if there's another format available.

  • I am using NI PXIe-1073 with Labview-2014.After deploying the VI how can i read the data through host computer?

    sankar,new delhi

    PIB. I want to read the data from the GPIB after the operation complete. I am using *opc? command, which should set the status register bit after the completion of the operation, but this is not working. How to know that the Operation is complete"-Thanks.The NI-488 global status variables ibsta, ibcnt, and iberr is what you are looking for. Look into the 4882 help file for details. Also NI-Spy, http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/nispy.htm, is a good debug util. There is a website that lists common GPIB error codes and solutions. You may check there for some things to try. You'll find the link at ni.com > Support > Troubleshooting > Installation/Getting Started > GPIB, titled "GPIB Error Codes and Common Solutions".
    You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
    We develop dri
    vers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
    If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
    http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
    We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

    Hope this helps.
