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.

    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.

    Ringtones (and audiobooks) can't currently be re-downloaded from the store. If they are no longer on your device then have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ?

    You should be able to redownload content (what you can redownload depends upon the type of item, what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes
    Depending on how you updated your account you might need to log out of your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out) and then sign back in (Store > Sign In) for the update to be recognised.

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

    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.

  • SOLVED! How to Read Your Own epub files on PlayBook (sort of)

    Hi boys, girls and epub lovers.
    I've finally discovered a rather straight-forward way to read epub files on your beloved PlayBook. Follow the steps below for reading joy:
    1 - Visit http://bookworm.oreilly.com and follow the 'Sign Up' link. Create an account
    2 - Sign in to the site and click on the big 'ADD A BOOK' link on the left hand side.
    3 - Upload one of your favourite epub books to the site.
    4 - On your PlayBook (if you're not already using it), visit http://m.bookworm.oreilly.com and sign in.
    5 - You should see your book listed. Click on it to open and start reading!
    Some nice things about it:
    1 - The site remembers the last page that you were reading the next time you sign in
    2 - If you read your book in portrait mode on the PlayBook, I discovered that just tapping the screen once will make the page scroll down
    3 - Typeface and size can be adjusted at the top of the screen.
    4 - You can literraly jump between any device with a web browser and continue to read your book
    Some problems with this method:
    1 - You need internet access
    2 - Chapter loading takes a moment because the book is stored online
    3 - Resizing of text is limited.
    If you can get over these minor problems, then it's fine. You can easily read on the move with the Bridge Browser and I've just read a couple of chapters of a book and it was a joy to read.
    Thanks O'Reilly!

  • HT201272 how to get previous purchased apps

    How can I get back previous purchased apps on my iphone 3gs?

    You should be able to do it as described on the page that you posted from, assuming that they are still in the store e.g. via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (which you can then sync to your phone).

  • How to install previously purchased CS5 products on a MacBook Pro w/out a CD drive?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display that does not have a CD drive. I own the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 & Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended in CD form. Since the new MacBook Pro does not have a CD drive how would I install my previously purchased programs? Is there a download link I can have to download the software then use my serial numbers?

  • HT4527 I can't find any of my previous purchases.  I had to buy a new computer because the old one died, and I also upgraded my iPhone.  I don't know why the music I previously purchased isn't stored in my iTunes account...?

    I can't find any of my previous purchases after upgrading my computer and iPhone - are they still in my iTunes account somewhere?

  • How to recover previously purchased songs

    I had previously had an iPod. I used to buy song directly off the iPod. The iPod had never been plugged into a computer. Since then that iPod has been wiped clean. My QUESTION is: is there a way to get those previously purchased songs on my new iPod. When I go onto the iTunes Store it says those old. Songs have been purchased?

  • 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!
