How can I read my iBooks on my iMac?

Thank you.
There is no actual iBooks app for the mac but there is kindle and stanza.
IBOOKS *****
I'll just continue building my Kindle library which I can use on any and all devices. Now sorry I bought a few books on Ibooks.
Can I be alone in thinking that this is disgraceful on Apple's part. Having converted my entire family to Apple and purchasing 3 ipod touches, 1 Pad, 1 Iphone 4 and 1 £1400.00 imac, and then bought the content (from Apple), it is ridiculous that I can't view that content on my imac. I hope Apple can sort these irritations out - it cant be that hard. I hope others read these posts before committing fully to Apple, because now and again I am asking myself whether life was just a little bit easier in the world of Windows, which is a real shame - because on the whole Apple products are so good.

So buy your ebooks from Amazon, download the free Kindle app to your iPad, your Touch and your iMac. You can now read your ebook purchases on all of your Apple devices. Problem solved.
Yeah, that doesn't work for me. I need iBook for the functions (highlight in different colors, speech to text, audio capability, etc). I find it very disgraceful on Apple's part and somewhat annoying. I hope they change it soon. We are very loyal to Apple -- we have an iMac and MacBook, 4 iPods and 1 iPad. I'd like to have books on all of them in iBook.

So why are you telling me? I can't do anything about it. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
But i have already purchased a lot of books form itunes. so what, now i cant read those on an apple product that cost me £1400.00. Me and JodiMH are not alone in feeling this even if you are not. Look around the forums there are lots of people making exactly the same point. I would prefer to buy and use my content in an Apple product, and I dont want to have to rebuy what I already have. I really dont think it would be that difficult for the world's biggest company to make a reader for its computer!
And I don't think JodiMH was responding to you personally...It was just a comment on this thread.

They responded to me directly by hitting the Reply button to my post. However, it doesn't really matter. The larger point, that fellow users can't solve the issue and that, the more people who submit feedback to Apple using the appropriate channel, the greater the likelihood that Apple will make the change, still holds.
