IBooks - Gutenberg Books - And Google Books

Apr 3, 2010

If you followed the news about the iPad, then you know about the iBooks app and store. You may also know that by supporting the EPUB format for books, Apple has given all iBooks users access to not only the tens of thousands of commercial ebooks sold with Fairplay DRM, but also to any DRM-free ebook in the EPUB format. We have already heard about the 30,000+ Gutenberg books that will be included within the iBookstore. What I haven't seen mentioned all that much is the over a million public domain books Google has available in EPUB (link).

Project Gutenberg Books Are Paginated Like Book Buy In IBooks?

May 8, 2010

My understanding is that you can read books from Project Gutenberg on your iPad. My question is whether those books are paginated like a book you would buy in iBooks or whether they are just one looooong document that you scroll through.

Project Gutenberg Allowed Unrestricted Epub Books To Sync

Mar 22, 2010

Just read this article about the ability to download and read every ebook from Project Gutenberg on your iPad. I'm so glad Apple has allowed unrestricted epub books to sync with your ipad, it opens up a ton of classic books that people can read for free. I know I'm going to download a bunch of classics right after I get my iPad.

Books VS IBooks

Apr 17, 2010

The iTunes Store is cheaper and you can enjoy immediate purchase!But I still buy books. I got about 200 books. For those here who read a lot of books, would you even consider leaving the physical books to only read ebooks on the iPad?

I could see so many advantages in ebooks (called iBooks) on the iPad:
- Immediate purchase,
- Cheaper price,
- Being able to have all my books when I travel,
- Not having to transport heavy boxes of books when I move in a new house,
- The instant dictionnary,
- Searching content,
- Bookmars in color!

The biggest complain is, of course, that reading on a screen is not that good compared to reading a real book. And reading outside (at the beach and/or in a sunny environment) should be far better with an actual book.

Any Way To Get Kindle Books Into IBooks?

Apr 23, 2010

If you *only* have the Kindle app, and not an actual Kindle, is there any way whatsoever to get to the files of the books you have purchased? I want to legitimately purchase some ebooks from Amazon, but I don't like the Kindle app's inability to change the font style (and other stuff). Where are those files actually stored? After some reading it seems like if you have a physical Kindle you can download the files themselves from your Amazon account page directly to your computer, but I get the sense that's not true if you only have the app. And when I look at the free ebooks I've 'bought' from Amazon on my account page, the only option is to deliver them to the iPad.

IBooks Tossed My Books

Sep 18, 2010

I started my iPad yesterday, and opened iBooks. My books were there momentarily, and then they all vanished, right before my eyes. I have no idea why. This is iBooks 1.1.2 (199)

There were six books, all free ones, all downloaded from the iBooks store; Winnie-The-Pooh, the iPad manual, a Jane Austen, a Henry James, The Iliad, etc.

On looking at my iBook Purchases, though, they were all still recorded, and appeared with 'Redownload' beside each one.

However, only Winnie-The-Pooh would do this; all the others came up with 'Unknown Error'.
