How do I read my iBooks on my iMac? I can see them in iTunes, but I don't know how to open them. I want to read them on my giant 27" iMac screen, instead of my iPad.

iMac 27-inch 2.8GHz Quad Core
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
Is it possible to have iBooks read you the book like the Kindle does. I mean this is a much more powerful machine than the kindle so I can't believe it does not.
View 2 RepliesI buy books, read them, then sell them, then use those proceeds to buy more books. That way, I can get new books when they come out, but not clutter my library or tie up my capital in them.So, I want to do the same with my ibooks. I want to buy them, read them, and sell them.
I can't find an ibook aftermarket. Can you buy used ibooks? Corrolary, can you sell them? Is there a medium that is currently already doing this? Or do I need to create one?
We received some feedback from our users who own an iPad, that Hebrew ePubs display properly on the iBooks.
The only problem they faced (so far) is that the pages are being displayed the other way around (i.e. Left to Right as in English instead of Right to Left as it should be in Hebrew or Arabic). Just t make it clear, the Hebrew text itself is being perfectly displayed. It's just the pages order which makes reading awkward. Is there any way to change this page appearance settings or should I consider it as a "bug"?
Is there an application that allows you to read iBooks purchased from iTune. like Amazon books for Kindle ?

I know a few of you were interested in this. Here's how to do it (according to lioncourt.com, who are self proclaimed experts in Apple accessibility).
1. Turn VoiceOver on. Unless you're using it all the time, I suggest going to the settings pane and choose Accessibility, VoiceOver then check 'triple click of home to turn VoiceOver on or off' or whatever the option is. Can't check right now as I am using my iPhone to post this and if I come out of Safari this text will disappear.
2. Open iBooks and the book you want. Triple click the home button to tum VoiceOver on. It will say 'VoiceOver on'.
3. Place two fingers on the screen. Make sure they're fingers held next to each other. Flick those fingers downwards in a smooth quick motion. You may have to practice to get it right.
4. VoiceOver will begin to read the page from the top, and when it gets to the bottom, it will turn the page for you and carry on speaking the next page. And so on. To stop it just tap on the screen anywhere with one finger (VoiceOver will most likely read whatever is under your finger, then stop. )
5. Unless you want to carry on using VoiceOver gsetures for everything else you do with your ipad, remember to triple click to turn it off again when done.
Caveats to this are that I do not have an ipad to test this because I'm a forgotten UK apple fan, I'm just relaying what lioncourt.com has said. Usually they get it right with regards to VoiceOver but not always.
Here's someone else's youtube demo for those who can see (no narration to describe how to do it, just a video of someone doing it) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5kLiRxuuq0

I finally got iTunes on my computer and put some of the PDFs I have onto my iPad, but I was wondering how (if at all) I can download them directly from the Internet on my iPad and open them in iBooks. My computer at home has no Internet, and the only Internet-accessible computer I get to use maybe...once a month.
And if i need to download another app, I need it to be free, and have an option to transfer the file from my iPad to my computer, then to my iPad through iTunes (you get what I mean?)

I have installed the latest version of ibooks on my iPad. First of all I wanted to try if it works properly.
So I sent an e-book (epub format bought from a seller that is not Apple) by email. I recovered it from the mail (the icon was recognized as an epub file) and it asked me if i wanted to open it with ibooks.
Well, the app said that the file was corrupted or was not in a proper format to be read. This happened with other epub files.
Another app read those files perfectly (asked me only the authorization to read epub files inserting the ID and PW for Adobe).
Does it means that ibooks reads epub files bought only from Apple??
After the last upgrade, IBooks doesn't read the Library. The bookshelf appears empty on iPad.
