How do I read Kindle and .epub books on iBooks?

I believe I need a converter but I googled it and they seem to be software sales scams.

Thanks Tom
How do I find out if my .epub book is DRM locked. I can't even seem to open it on my Mac or iPhone (is this a clue?). Was in Scotsdale for Arizona Bike Week a year or so back, great place.

  • 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.

    How to delete in bookmark and reading list in safari in Ipad and iphone4

    Swipe across an item in the reading list and it should get a Delete button on it - you will need to do each individually, I don't think that there is a multi-select-and-delete option

    Ask at the school, as well. If there is a disability organization for the specific disability then make inquiry of that organization.

  • Sync ePub books between iBooks on Mavericks and iPad/iPhone?

    is that possible?
    books bought from the ibooks store sync just fine. just all the other books won't sync from A to B...

    accidently found out how to sync the library:
    drag and drop an ebook (that you haven't purchased in the ibooks store) from finder into iBooks on your Mac
    open up iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPad - you should now see the "books" tab again next to apps, music etc...
    in the "books" section, choose "sync books" and "all books"
    press the sync button (lower right corner - don't know what its called in the english version) - your iBooks on the Mac should now be copied over to your idevice and vice versa. all the stuff that was on your iPad before should now also show up in iBooks on your Mac (including PDFs )
    this will at least keep your library synced on all devices, I think this won't sync bookmarks and notes though
    hope this helps a little bit

  • HT2534 Management of epub books (in iBook) which are invisable in iTunes

    I have downloaded books in epub format to iBook from my newspaper provider. They are not visable in iTunes. How do I make them visable, do back up of them or move them to another Apple device e.g. a iPad Mini or PC? Thanks in advance/khn

    If they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - that should copy over epubs and/or PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks (if your computer is a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app to copy them over to it). If you connect another iOS device they should then show on its Books tab for being available for syncing to it ; if you want to copy them to a different computer then you will need to copy them yourself to that computer

  • How to read previousely purchased epub books stored on pc on ipad2

    I have copied the epub files onto ipad successfully and can see them on the book shelf but I get a meaasge saying unable to open file as file type not compatable? Are there different types of epub files?

    Thanks for that, I have downloaded GoodReader and still can not view the files. Trying to read then in GoodReader just shows a blank screen and trying to open them in iBooks results in "Book format error" "This book cannot be opened because the format is not recognised, or is invalid", "Close" or "Delete", The files have been downloaded from WH Smith & Waterstones for a Sony Reader. They are defenatly .epub files.

  • I need a read (Speak) app for iBooks, Subscriptions, Kindle and other book based information and web or instruction based books and articles.

    I have spent 3-4 months downloading, buying and searching for an app that would read my books, my magazine subscription based articles and other written information resources. I can NOT find 1 that works and the ones that are dedicated (like Kindle) will not work even on a book I bought from Amazon and chose to save to my iPad kindle app. Their is not even an app I can find for the books and manuals I purchased from my iBook account and the Subscriptions I have their. I can't even find an app that would read passages from my NEBible. Can anyone, anywhere from Earth to the farthest reaches of the Universe, advise me of an app, or apps, that I can Buy, Rent, Lease or anything else an app, or whatever, that would read my books etc. to me? This is very important to me as being disabled and having adjustments to make to get info into me is a bit harder than it used to be. I would really appreciate any and all help I can get.
    Thanks in advance - I know their has to be other people that would really appreciate and use any source for reading to help in everyday life.

  • How to restore mail messages and address book?

    Recently the hard drive on my eMac failed. The drive would no longer mount. Fortunately, my entire user folder has been recovered. While I see the files such as AddressBook.data and Incoming_Mail they are showing up as generic documents. I can't seem to import these files or open them with their respective applications (Address Book and Mail). How can I restore these previous messages and prior address book? I want to add this recovered data to the new address book and mailboxes that I have created in the interim after the hard drive crashed and I began using another Mac.
    17" iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the new version of Mail is not recognizing the mbox files and therefore I can't import them.
    Again, this is wrong. Not only does Mail 2.x recognize Mail 1.x mailboxes, but can import them as either Mail for Mac OS X or as Other. The exact procedure is slightly different in each case.
    I need a way to bring these old mbox message files into Tiger.
    And I need that you explain what exactly it is that you’re doing and what exactly is the problem in order to be able to determine what exactly it is that you’re doing wrong...

  • How to put Author name and other book/magazine information into iTunes

    Hi,
    I'm trying to organize my pdf's in iTunes (and while I'm at it, I'm putting some web magazines in as well).  I know to highlight the title and press Command/I to edit information, but categories like "author", "publisher" don't come up even though I can sort by those fields. 
    Is there a way in iTunes to add that information/tag to my pdf's? 
    Thanks

    This is why I think iTunes, in its present form, is completely unsuited for cataloging eBooks. However you can do what you want to do with the existing tags. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a screen cap for you to illustrate how:
    And the various other sorting options:
    Give all that a try and see how it works for you.

  • How to order a calendar and a book in one order?

    You can't. Multiple copies of one order can be combined, but not multiple orders.

  • How do you read in and work with I24 binary data into LabView?

    Hi there,
    I have a program that is reading binary data in as 16 bits per sample.  I have some binary input files that were saved as 24 bits per sample.  How do I convert my old program to handle this data.  I realize that LabView doesn't have built in I24 conversion - how do I do this myself? I found a post that referred to using a boolean array to create your own 24 bit number - but I don't understand what that means...  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks so much!

    Do you know the format of the saved 24-bit data?  Can you share some data with us, along with what you think the values are?  If it is I24, then every three bytes represents a 24-bit (signed) integer.  The first question to answer is "What is the order of the bytes"?  How do you want to represent these data?  The obvious choices are as an I32, but since the rest of your data is I16, you might choose I16, instead.
    To convert I24 into I16, you can simply return the high two bytes.  To convert I24 to I32, you need to set a high byte that replicates the sign (saved in the most significant bit of the third byte).  One way to do this is to consider the third byte as an I8 quantity -- if it is positive, set the high byte to 0, and if it is negative, set the high byte to -1.
