Will books I buy in the iBookstore work with a Kobo?

I was thinking of getting a Kobo e-reader for use at the beach (I fear water/sand damage with my iPad). Kobo's support ePub, will book I bought in the iBookstore work with a Kobo?

If the books that you buy/download have any sorts of digital rights management on them then you will not be able to copy/transfer them into other ebook reader/app. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 :
iTunes can show you the kind of book you have by selecting the book and then choosing File > Get Info. If the Kind is marked as Book, this is a book you downloaded from the Internet. If it is listed as Purchased Book, it is a DRM-free book downloaded from the iBookstore. If it is listed as Protected Book, it is a copy-protected book from the iBookstore.
I've only downloaded some free books from the iBookstore, and some of them show as Purchased Book (old out of copyright classics) whilst others show as Protected Book (more recent free books). I would expect that most (if not all) in-copyright books will be protected and will not be transferable.

    Backup with iTunes. If iTunes is asking you if you want to backup, say yes to that and it will backup your iPad. Have you ever synced with this computer before?
    My boilerplate response for anyone that wants to update the iOS.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

  • I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland.  Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

    I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland.  Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

    Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

  • My book is published in the iBookstore. Download count? Reader reviews? Not registered.

    Once your book is published in the iBookstore can you get your book reviewed? How? Can you see the count of downloads of your book?

    K T --You've been very kind to keep helping me out.
    My book is free even though it is digital art and text.
    I haven't been able to work out "redeem codes." I do have the iTC Mobile app. I do have iTunes Producer installed in my MacBook Pro.
    Did see 'Customer Ratings'  for my book in the iBookstore.--  I added my Apple ID and window came up to review. Do you need an Apple ID to review?
    Thank you,

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

  • I am also unable to get the 551L working with Windows 8 Beta 1. Any advice?

    I am also unable to get the 551L working with Windows 8 Beta 1 and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2. Any Advice?

    It should be noted that I was previously in those Windows Beta's and I am also a member of both Microsoft Technet (Retail Subscription), and all 3 Apple Developer Programs (IOS, Mac and Safari), which is the reason why I am running Microsoft Windows 8 Beta 1 on 2 of my 3 Dell's (the oldest one has Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Microsoft Office 2003 on it, which is the PC that I am using the 551L on), and the Mid Year 2010 Apple Mac Mini has Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server Edition on it (something that I am technically am NOT supposed to be talking about here due to my NDA so this will be the last time I mention it here (as you can see I am known for being the type of  Computer Nerd that loves Alpha and Beta Testing)! :-)

  • Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    We have it running on our iMac G5s. Although it runs reasonably well, there are some teething problems with it. One of them is we cannot capture from a camcorder using timecodes because it just crashes when we try and do that, so we can only capture using the "DV Convertor" mode. Not unreasonable, but slightly annoying.
    We also have the problem that, when we brought some new iMac G5s recently with the iSight built in, it wouldn't work at all because it didn't seem to realise that a PCI-Express graphics card was actually a graphics card at all, and it kept demanding we install an AGP one, which was a bit stupid.
    Apart from that, it's definitely useable. No crashes or anything like that. And we use it daily.

  • TS1484 Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

    Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

    I dont doubt your claim of 55-75 hours of usage
    solely on running since january. Even though you say
    that it has died prematurely with the range of hours
    you give since the time you purchased the sensor.
    I must ask if you were concious of turning off
    the sensor when it was not in usage. You know
    hitting that little button on the sensor itself to
    deactivate the battery. If your answer is no that you
    never remembered to turn off this sensor then. Your
    idea that it has died prematurely is bad. Because
    without physically turning off the sensor itself
    (thats the portion in the sole of the shoe) then it
    has been on 24/7 since you purchased it in january.
    Now if you have remembered to turn off the sensor
    after each run then it might have died prematurely.
    IF thats the case I would contact apple or the place
    from which you purchased it and ask for some help
    regarding the sensor.
    GFF:)
    Umm, no: From the FAQ
    "The sensor’s battery has a life of more than 1000 active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power management system which means that the sensor really only consumes power when active (that is, when it senses motion)."
    Mine is now showing the low battery indicator at 277 hours. I'm not the only one with premature battery failure.

    There are more threads (just search on "sensor battery").
    This should be covered by the warranty. Can someone from Apple please respond to this thread?

  • Does the curricula work with or without the SAP software?

    Hi! As a faculty member... does the curricula work with or without the SAP software? Is it better to lecture with the software or can I get by without it?
    If I'm part of a member university how many students can I provide access to the software? Are there any limitations?
    Also, I'm based in Philadelphia with connections to the 2nd largest university... Can I pick my UCC or will it be assigned to me? I'm open to either one!
    Many thanks!
    Richard

    Hi Everyone,
    One key intent of this community is to present curriculum resources for lectures of either type - with access to SAP software for the professor and students in classroom and lab environements OR without access to the software.
    The former, with SAP software access, requires formal membership in our long-standing University Alliances program (UAP). With this membership, professors receive special access to curriculum elements designed to be dependent on use of SAP software (an of course access to everything in our community).
    The latter, without SAP software access, requires simply registration in this new University Alliances community (UAC). This community makes many resources available to professors to integrate into their business and IT-related lectures and projects - including pre-recorded demos, videos, expert and analyst reports, articles, white papers, customer reviews, references, and case studies, etc.
    The curren state of the site is like a start-up. There is a lot on offer, but we also expect that there is a lot more out there to grow. We know there are many elements which we can make available to the worldwide community once they are contributed. We are actively approaching professors in our networks now for items.
    We would be grateful for anyone that we have not contacted to come forward and offer content of their own, for the UAP members or for the greater UAC.
    Thanks and Best Wishes
    Bob LoBue
