In some countries there are currently only free books available - Apple can sell books where the publishers have granted them licenses to do so (what you can buy where). Do you have access to other ebook apps/stores ?

How can I transition from a free books account to a paid books account?

I created a free books account (based on my existing itunes ID) to post 2 books just to test out the process. Now that I feel like I know what I'm doing, I'd like to update a paid book, but can't figure out how to go about doing it. I created a second Itunes ID to create a paid book account, but then the SSN I used for that account was the same (obviously) as the one I used for the free account and that's where I ran up against a wall. What to do now?
Thanks!

You will need to retain your free books account - its not 'transferable" in any way.
You will need to apply for for a Paid Books account, new "username" email address is required.
You will need to fulfil the requirements in the Contracts and Banking section of your "new account" - you can use the same bank and credit card details and you will to apply to the USA tax office for an EIN.
I used this.

Try to calculate your call to be 6.30pm East Coast US time - they work till 7pm so at 6.30pm.. it is usually a quiet time and should mean no waiting online for an agent.

4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

HT4059 See no free books on iBooks except old fiction. Why is this so. A matter of all kinds to be free. Please advise on how to use correctly.

What country are you in ? (This page shows what content types are available where.) Some countries currently only have free books, to be able to sell recent/current books in a particular country the publisher's need to grant Apple a license to do so. Have you got access to other ebook apps/stores in your country ?

Only free Books ??

i have an apple id set for egypt with a Visa payment, and i can only see free books on ibooks store ? i want to buy some books. thanks in advance

Not all countries can purchase books yet from the ibookstore. Instead try Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks stores (they have free readers for iOS devices).

HT4059 all i view on iBookstore are free books

I got the new ipad mini and wants to read new books in their ibook app. All I can see is the free books. Please help me

Whether you can buy current/recent ibooks from Apple depends upon what country that you are in, some countries currently only have free ibooks - if the book publishers haven't granted Apple licenses to sell their books in your country's ibookstore then Apple can't sell them. Do you have access to other ebook apps/stores e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo ?

Can't delete free books from iBooks

I tried to download a bunch of free books from iTunes. The download just won't work. Finally I decided to just try and delete them from my bookshelf. Nothing I tried worked;
1) Selected the undownloaded books in question and pressed "delete". Nothing happened. They are in the "Books" folder, not "purchased"
2) Set "Show Purchased" in the iBooks settings to off.
3) Deleted the iBooks App from my iPad. Deleted the books in question from my PC. Even went into the folders and deleted them. If I've deleted the content from my ipad, and from my computer AND told iBooks NOT to sync from iCloud AND told iTunes NOT to sync any books at all, then how is it that iBooks is still showing me books I clearly do not want anymore on my device. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall iBooks, those holding images for the books in question still keep coming up.
It really doesn't say much about a book app when the simplest thing (deleting unwanted books) needs a visit to the support pages.

Books not actually on the iPad will not show up unless you have Show All Purchases set in teh setting app. Even then they will be indicated with a small cloud icon. These will always be in teh Purchsed collection, but can also show up in other collections if you choose to place them there (moving to another collection doesn't effect the Purchased collection).
To delete a book, tap Edit (upper right corner), tap each book to be deleted, Tap Delete (upper left).
If for some reason this doesn't appear to be working correctly, two things to look into:
Open the Settings app > iTunes&App Stores. Check to see if automatic downloads are tuned on for iBooks. If so, turn it off.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Since you have such heartburn over the need to visit this site, you may want to consider having a look at the user guide. It may prevent the need to do so: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Can I use my Free Books iConnect Account to validate EPUB of a client?

I do freelance EPUB conversion and have my own free books iConnect account. Could I used this to validate my client's EPUB to make sure there will be no problem on their end when they deliver this on their side. Of course I will be deselecting all regions to make sure it would not be available in any regional iBookstore. Can I do this and is this legal?

Hi Pitypat247,
I do not see any subscription under your account. If you want to convert jpg to PDF that you must require PDF Pack subscription.
However, you cannnot use online account. You need to save the jpg to your desktop and then you can use this subscription.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Regards,

HT201359 What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!

Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

Why does my ibook display only free book?

I noticed my ibook app only display free books. Could this be because my apple ID was registered under Malaysia?

Apple can only sell content in iBooks that the publishers have allowed them to - if they havn't been granted permission then they can only 'sell' free content. So if you are in one of those countries where there is only free content then you will need to buy and use a different ebook content provider (the terms of use of the stores say you can only purchase/download from your own country's stores). Do you have Kindle (Amazon), Nook, or other ebook retailers in your country ?

If I got one of the free books off of Itunes, how do I read it? I double click and it does nothing. Is it only to hook up to Iphones or Ipads?

I got one of the free books of Itunes and I'm wondering how I read it. I double click and nothing happens. Is it only for Ipads and Iphones??

If you have one of the public-domain books provided by Project Gutenberg (these are books published many years ago and which have therefore fallen out of copyright, such as the Dickens and Jane Austin books), you should be able to open it using Calibre:
http://calibre-ebook.com/
or one of the other applications that can open ePub format. Launch the app and point it to the book file, which will be in your iTunes folder, in iTunes Music (Media) -> Books.

Can I view / read books brought from iBookstore on my Mac or PC?

Just like the songs brought from iTunes which can be listened in iTunes on Mac or Windows-PC.
Thanks in advance!

I'm still in a "sampling" mode for the most part, but free content I've downloaded from the iBookstore (i.e., Project Gutenberg ePub books) play in all of the desktop readers I've tried thus far.

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

No problem, Peter. iBooks Author makes a lot of things much easier than trying to grapple with a standard epub, but it also has some big limitations, like iPad only, and ibookstore only.
EDIT It's not really suitable for something like a novel, for example, although it's great when you need lots of illustrations and movies and such.

How do I switch from Free Books to Purchase Books. I can't get further than Free books?, How do I switch from Free Books to Purchase Books. I can't get further than Free books?

I am referring to books in iBooks. I only seem to have access to Free books. This is very frustrating.

Other books will come if and when Apple is able to strike a deal with the publishers in your country. You can view a list of the content for which Apple has been able to obtain licenses, if any, for your country here:
