HT4059 Can I share a book I bought with a friend

Can I share books with friends on my iPad like you can on kindle

All iTunes downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be loaned or transferred to another account - so unless you give them access to your account then no, you can't

    Can i share a book I purchased with a friend and how?

    They are supposed to buy their own copy.  It doesn't work quite the same way with iBooks as with paper books.  You would have to authorize their device for your media and that would make things tricky in all kinds of ways.

    If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
    If it's another app, then whatever  the rules of that app says is what works.
    If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

    Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?

    No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).
    Regards.

  • HT4059 Can I share a book I've purchased?

    Can I share books with other family members who also have an ipad

    Hi George...
    Yes ...
    Using the same Apple ID the iBooks were originally purchased from, they can re download the iBooks to their iPads.

  • HT4059 can I share i books with another i phone user?

    Can I share iBooks that I have purchased with another iPhone user?
    If so, how do I do that?

    ibooks (and other content downloaded from Apple) are tied to your iTunes account - so unless they have access to your account then no.

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

    Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

    At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
    If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
    This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
    Regards.

    Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

    Hi Charlie42,
    Happy New Year!  The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing.   Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content.  The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable.  Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

    Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
    After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.
    If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.
    There are a few things that you can't share:
    Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
    In-App Purchases
    Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
    Items that were hidden
    Apps that aren't shareable
    If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music.See if you can share an app

    If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.
    Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

    It will be tied to your iTunes account, you can't lend it, or transfer it, to somebody else's account.

    Your hotspot will be billed by AT&T or Verizon based on your iPhone's model. Only the iPhone 4 from Verizon would allow a Verizon hotspot. Others have posted information revealing that the Verizon 3G connection is somewhat slower than the AT&T service. Also, the Verizon service suspends the use of hotspot when you take a phone call. The AT&T service continues during calling.
    Selecting the hotspot feature under General> Settings> Personal Hotspot will change your data plan from your previous 250MB, 2GB, or unlimited amount to a new 4GB plan that includes tethering. AT&T charges me $45 instead of my Unlimited, but No Tethering Allowed, $30.
    You can connect three devices that have WiFi. Verizon hotspots can connect five. Your speed should be about the same as the iPhone 4 browsing speed on 3G. If your phone is on WiFi, the devices need to connect separately to that WiFi, not to your hotspot. I would love to see a software update that allows my WiFi connection to be shared, so I don't have to manually connect the iPods that my boys use one at a time.

  • Can I share the books I have purchased with my wife even if she is not on the same account?

    Can I share the books I have purchased with my wife if she is not on the same account as I am?

    Then the answer is that each of you purchases and syncs from your respective iTunes accounts and Apple IDs, therefore to transfer any purchased item from one iPad to the other would require syncing that iPad with the other person's account, and that will mess up all your respective synced data.
    Of course you can swap iPads for bookreading, I suppose.

    DropBox is another possibility for sharing files and it is free for the first 2GB of storage.
