Unable To Transfer Kindle-not Compatible Wih Epub Format?
Jul 9, 2010
I am contemplating the purchase of an iPad. One of the big reasons is to download titles from my public library.I have a kindle but it is not compatible with the ePub format. Is the iPad compatible like the Sony e-reader? I am confused.
I can read these titles downloaded via Overdrive on my Macbook Pro but cannot transfer them to my Kindle.This isn't the only reason for wanting an iPad but it is the most important at the moment.I also use Calibre but that doesn't appear to be a solution.
I have some books in PDF format that I want to get into the Epub format so i can read them on my future iPad.What is a good program to do this?I can use mac and windows so it doesn't matter what operating system the application is for.
I loaded pdf and epub files from my local library and dragged and dropped into itunes and then sync'd. The issue is that the epub book won't open in ibooks and the pdf's are blank. Can someone help. Just got the ipad and not sure if I've missed a step. Information : Ipad
Unable To Open File / File Size Limited For PDF Documents
Sep 23, 2010
It seems that the iPad has a limit of 30MB for displaying PDF files. This is rather small. Did Apple set this limit, or is there a technical reason for doing so.
I can't seem to get ePub books onto my iPad. I download them on to my Mac, and try to drag and drop them into the Books directory in iTunes but it won't work.Any suggestions?
I was pleasently surprised today to find that Project Gutenberg free ebooks are now offered in the epub format and can be downloaded directly to my new iPad's iBook library through Safari from their site without having to go through iTunes. This may be old news, but it's new to me.
Everytime when I open the word file my iPad will exit the program and jump to home screen automatically, but the word file looks fine in PC and I have tried other programs to open this word file like goodreader,mail,Safari,iworks.and it's all the same.crach
I can not open a KeyNote file on my iPad that was emailed to me.When I open the message on my iPad the message reads: "The message can not be displayed because of the way it is formatted.
Nowadays most of us like to read on the portable devices which makes life more convenient and amazing! The fact is, a large number of ebooks is in PDF and other formats, but some e-readers like, iPad, only support specific formats with their default reader apps. For the moment, ePub is the only ebook format iTunes accepts. On the plus side, ePub is a free and open standard, which is a very good thing.
The point is, even though in an ideal world ebook readers could handle virtually any format effortlessly and without any extra work on the users' part, there are worse things you could convert your ebooks to than ePub. So Tipard PDF ePub Converter came into its place as recalls.
To evaluate in a deep level , Tipard PDF ePub Converter is known as a professional PDF ePub Converter for all popular portable players, such as, Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Sony Reader, Hanlin eReader, etc. Besides providing you with the best PDF to ePub converting experience, it will preserve the texts, layout, images, hyperlinks and everything as the original ones.
I have a bunch of publisher files I need to port over and can't find a program to open them with. I have tried keynote, pages, documents to go and quickoffice.
It's very strange, whenever I use a proxy that works find through Firefox or Chrome on the iPad, it loads the iPlayer and indicates nothing as far as geographical restrictions go, but when a video begins to play it says in an iPhone OS dialogue "you are not authorized to open this file."I have a feeling that while there is an HTTP proxy in effect, it is not being fully applied, and most importantly not being applied to the video plug-in for Safari.Has anyone encountered this problem?
So I thought I'd test the ePub format on iBooks. Took a large RTF file and converted to ePub format using Calibre. Loaded to the iPad and ... it only showed the cover art and the first page of Chapter 1, then nothing else the whole 300+ pages.
I went back to view it in Calibre and the whole doc is there. Has anyone else tried converting from any format to ePub, then synching to iBooks? Would be interested to hear feedback on it.
IPad :: EBook Sync - EPub File Doesn't Stay But It Goes Away
Aug 18, 2013
I have some ebooks that I want on my iPad. But it doesn't work.
When my iPad and my Macbook pro has synced, I paste the epub file of that book to my booklist. I then see the name of that book in my list but it's still grey. When I click sync, at step 2 it removes the book and at step 3 the book isn't still there. That epub file doesn't stay but it goes away.
I refuse to buy iTunes HD. It's compressed 720p and costs too much. I rip my Blue Rays as MKV files and they're of excellent quality, and I'll be willing to downgrade them to 720p, just not at the price and low quality compression Apple offers. Unfortunately Apple does not support this in iTunes. Anyone imagine it will make its way in eventually? Much better HD filetype than. If not, the new iPad has drag and drop mountable storage support. Anyone imagine I can drop. MKV files into the app's folder when my iPad is mounted and the app can play them? Really want the iPad, but this is a really dampening feature for me. That HD screen only being able to play iTunes content that doesn't do justice to HD or the price.
