How can i read ibooks on my mac?

how can I read Ibooks books on my mac?

I work in a high tech company (not in IT) and as a sideline I fix close friends and family's PCs and Macs, usually remotely over Logmein. The reason I switched to Macs over the past four years is that most of my friends and family that have switched from PCs to Macs require little or no support. So I am an Apple fan boy by my experiences and not just for the sake of being a fan. It just makes practical sense.
Which leads me to the point. I am also an Apple stock holder. So I prefer to buy a book on the Apple Store rather than the Amazon store even though I realize my recent purchase of an iBook at $13.99 is of no consequence to Apple's bottom line.
In that light, I would of course like to be able to read my iBooks on my MacBook Air or the PCs and Macs I use at work.
It just makes practical sense.

HT5544 Can you read ibooks on mac pro laptop?

If I download the ibooks app to my mac pro laptop, and then purchase an ibook through itunes, can I read it from my mac pro laptop or do I need an iPad, iPod or iPhone?

Hi rosemaryfromdelta,
No, you cannot read iBooks on a Mac. However, you can read Kindle books on a Mac. Download the free Kindle application, set up a Kindle account on Amazon, and purchase your e-books through the Kindle store on Amazon.
P.S. - if you do ever get an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can also download the Kindle app to them, and you will be able to read any books you have purchased on those devices as well....
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
GB

Can I read ibook on windows

Can I read books that I purchased through iPad iBook on my Windows 7 laptop?

On every purchase page for Apple's iBookstore, it tells you in the Requirements section what devices can be used. Windows PC's are never among them.
It is still possible to read some such books on a PC if they are in .epub format and do not have DRM to prevent piracy. Books published by O'Reilly, for example, fall in that category, as do most free books. You would just have to download and install a Windows epub reader app (iTunes does not read books).
To read books on a Windows PC, you should buy them from a store which provides an ereader for that platform, such as possibly Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

Can I read iBooks from Apple TV

I was just wondering, can I use iBooks through Apple Tv. Thanks.

Unfortunately you are unable to directly read iBooks from Apple TV, but using Airplay Mirroring on iPhone, iTouch, or iPad, you can display the book you are reading on the Apple TV.

HT5557 can i download ibooks on a Mac Pro ?

can I download iBooks to a Macbook Pro?

If you mean the books then yes, but unless they are free or from a publisher such as O'Reilly (who don't put digital rights management on their books) then you won't be able to read them on your Mac.
With OS X Mavericks later in the year that will change, that has an iBooks app for Macs in it : http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/#ibooks

Can I read ibook books on a mac book pro??

I would like to read the books I purchase for ibooks on my mac also. Is there an app for Mac that allows this?? there is no ibooks on the mac app store.

No, there is currently no Mac app to read iBooks on a Mac.
Give Apple feedback about developing an app to read iBooks in Mac OS X;

Can I read iBooks on a nook or kindle?

I have purchased quite a few iBooks on my iPhone, and am looking to get a digital e-reader. Is there a way to transfer my iBook library to a Nook or a Kindle?
Thanks!

No. Each ebook store tends to have their own digital rights management on their content which ties their books to their app/computer program/e-reader - so books bought from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch; ebooks bought from Amazon can only be read on a Kindle device or Kindle app/program etc.

Can I read ibooks on my PC?

I just bought an ibook on my iphone and was wondering if there is a way to read it on my PC. The book is helping me with some stuff I'm working on and it would help if I could have it up on my screen instead of scrolling through my phone.

The majority of ibooks can only be read in the iBooks app on iOS devices and Mac computers, they have digital rights management on them which tie them to iBooks. If it's a free ibook or from one of the publishers who don't use DRM on their books then you might be able to read it on a PC e.g. in Calibre
If you are likely to want to read other ebooks on your PC then for future purchases you could see if they are available in other stores ebook stores which have iOS and PC ereader apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle store have ereader apps for iPhones and PCs, Kobo and Barnes & Noble (Nook) have iOS and Windows 8 apps

How Can I Read iBooks on my Laptop?

On my Laptop, I can:
a) Listen to songs I purchased, with iTunes
b) Listen to podcasts I subscribe to, with iTunes
c) Listen to Audio Books I purchased, with iTunes
d) Watch Videos i purchased, with iTunes
WHY CAN"T I READ BOOKS I PURCHASED with iBooks, with iTunes?
Amazon's Kindle lets me read Kindle Books on my iPad, my iPhone, and my LAPTOP.
Shouldn't APPLE let me do the same?
Please, Apple, give me an iBook Reader for my laptop.

Agreed. But there's another even bigger problem:
I purchased the Steve Jobs biography from iTunes.
Then after starting it I received an offer of a free updated version.
I have made many notes and bookmarks throughout while reading and as a teacher these annotations assist me in selecting passages to read to my classes in computing.
I asked Apple Support if the new version will eliminate all these bookmarks and notes?
or was there a way for me to retain BOTH versions?
herewith their reply:
Dear David,
.......I understand that you would like to download the updated version of "Steve Jobs" but are concerned that your notes and annotations will be lost. I can certainly appreciate your concern and will be glad to help correct this issue.
Unfortunately, the notes and annotations are tied to each iBook. Deleting the iBook would cause you to lose those notes and annotations. In this situation, I recommend either downloading the updated version to a different device or not downloading it all together.
I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever you need. Thank you for being a valuable member of the Apple family, we truly appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,
iTunes Store/Mac App Store Customer Support
Valued books need longevity. Sir Isaac Newton's legacy library was used to determine his interests via the annotations he made - even the dog eared folds he used to make page corners point to important/interesting bits on a page! Then there's Fermat's Last theorem!!!
We need iBooks with more permanancy. They need longevity, portability, quotability and lendability.

Can I read iBooks on a Windows computer?

My daughter has the iPhone 5s and an iPod. She wants to purchase a book in iBooks but does not want to read it on such a small device. Is it possible to read the book on a Windows 8 laptop, either through iTunes or with another program?

She does have a Kindle -- can iBooks be read on one? She does not have the Fire -- just a regular Kindle.

How can I read ibooks on my macbook

Do you need to have an ipad to download ibooks or can I use my macbook? I've looked for it on the App store but I can't find it

On a Macbook you will need to get your ebooks elsewhere, using the other ereaders like Kindle, Nook, or Googlebooks.

Can I Read From two different Kindle accounts on one ipad?

My fiance just bought an ipad 4. She has installed the Kindle app so she can read content from her Amazon Kindle library on her ipad.
I have a separate Amazon Kindle library that I want to read on her ipad too. How can I do this without co-mingling our Kindle libraries? Is there a way to install two separate Kindle apps on her ipad?
I will be most appreciative of any solutions that you can offer to me.
Robert

You can use Safari (the Amazon site that it's only compatible with Safari on iOS devices) and go to https://read.amazon.co.uk/ and you should be able to save the site/'web app' to your iPad's homescreen and link it to a different account than is in the Kindle app itself.
