Reading books on iPad

Is there a way to mark each book that has been read on the iPad. As numerous books are purchased and read at random it becomes a continually more difficult task to remember which you have read and which are unread.
Them method also needs to allow for multiple readers.

Ancientone,
Are you aware that you can change the iBook app display?
One way is to keep on the top shelf books that you are currently reading and below it books that are not read yet or already been read. Another way is to delete books from the iPad during synchonization. The books will be kept in your iTune library but will not show on the iPad.

  • Reading books on iPad versus Kindle

    I currently have a Kindle DX, which I love. I have been thinking of getting the iPad with retina display. Chiefly I would use this for reading books and playing games. I have seen some people responding who seem to also have both devices. Any advice to give me, if I go forward with my purchase?

    I've never owned a Kindle, so I can't address the specific mechanics, but ther are a couple of advantages on both sides I can point out:
    Kindle
    Screen is much better suited to reading in bright sunlight
    Tends to be less expensive
    iPad
    More apps and better suited to overall computing
    Has apps for iBooks (Apple), Kindle (Amazon), Nook (Branes&Nobles), and others, so more options for reading content
    Better integration with other devices in some respects.
    I also personally wouldn't look at it as an either/or situation. both platforms have advantages.

  • Need to authorize the PC if I only read books in iPads and Sony reader?

    I never read books in the PC.  I only use it to download purchases and transfer them to the devices. Do I still need to authorize the PC (consuming one authorization slot of the 6 available)?
    Thanks for your help!
    Luis

    iPad and iPhones don't get authorised/deauthorised, only computers are. You mention deauthorising devices - do you mean that you've been into the 'manage devices' part of your account and removed them ? The 'manage devices' section is different to authorised computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    IHave you had other computers in the past and/or updated the OS on computers without deauthorising them ? Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but as you have more than 2 computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need - see that page that you posted from for more info.

  • Was reading book official appearing pop up came up asking if I wanted to upgrade-I pressed to do it and iPad is frozen with iTunes image and image of charger cord

    Was reading book on iPad
    Pop up asked if I wanted to upgrade- probably stupidly I agreed- now iPad screen is frozen with ITunes symbol and image of charger cord on screen- tried turning it off - no help.

    Carolyn explained how to reset the iPad. You don't need a tool or clip to do this...just your fingers.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    I do not think that is going to work, but try it.
    You are getting the connect to iTunes message and that usually means that your iPad needs to be restored.

  • When I am reading books my pages turn by themselves.  What can I do about this?

    When I am reading books, my ipad turns pages by bunches and when I am NOT touching the screen.  What can I do about this?

    All it takes is a real light brush or touch for the pad to sense a page turn.  Is your cover/case touching the edge?

  • Looking for a reading App.  iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.  I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. Voice over works, but monotone!

    Looking for a reading App.
    iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.
    I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book.  I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together. 
    - I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.

    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • How can I read books from the library on my iPad?

    I've downloaded Over Drive and Bluefire in an attempt to read books downloaded from the library.  Although both libraries say it's easy to transfer from my home computer to the iPad, nothing has worked so far.  Has anyone had success?

    Remove, but not uninstall from the device?  Where would they go if you did that?
    Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
    There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
    Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps. 

  • Opening text book in adobe reader on my ipad

    The textbooks for my school need to be opened in adobe reader and then I am prompted to enter my login information to unlock the book.  When I open it in adobe reader on my ipad, the keyboard will not appear so that I can enter my information.  What am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks!

    Many universities use a third party "protection" mechanism that requires the desktop version of the Adobe Reader to view. Unfortunately, there is no solution for viewing these documents on iOS.

  • Can I copy pages from a book I am reading on the iPad to the ipad

    I am reading a library book in overdrive is it possible to copy pages from the book to be read on the iPad after the book is returned?
    Thanks for your response
    Cin 

    I don't have a library book checked out at the moment, so I can't play, but have you tried to select a section of text, and then copy it?  If that works you can then go to Notes or Pages, create a new document and paste it in.
    If not, you can try screen shots:  press and release both the Home button and the Power button together, you should hear a camera shutter sound.  You can take as many screen shots as you want.  You will find the screen shots on your camera roll in Photos.

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

  • Can you read books on the ipad in direct sunlight

    can you read books on the ipad in direct sunlight ?

    Not very easily no. If you can get a non-reflective screen cover it might be a bit better, but it probably still won't be as good as, for example, a Kindle device is.

  • I find it extremely difficult to read books on my ipad 2 while sitting in the sun at the pool or the beach. Any suggestions?

    I find it extremely difficult to read books on my ipad 2 while sitting in the sun at the pool or the beach. Any suggestions?

    If you put a towel over your head and ipad then it will block out the sun, and the ipad is easily visable. Just being difficult, but yeah that is one of thous little ipad short cummings that apple doesn't pitch in the nice cool commercials. For me, I have to essentually turn the brightness up fully for best results, still isn't perfect.
