I don’t like iBooks and rarely buy them. I prefer to buy from Kobo. The Kobo app works fine on my iPhone, less well on an iPad, and on the Mac, Adobe Digital Editions reads Kobo books. Adobe Digital Editions puts a folder in the Documents folder and the files have meaningful names. Also, Kobo books are usually cheaper than iBooks. I prefer Kobo to Kindle since I can’t read Kindle books on my Mac.
