Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[cm]

Hi Chris,

With ePub books there is always the question of Digital Rights Management 
(DRM). DRM is a system whereby only the legal owner of an eBook can open it on 
his or her device. Some books have gone into the public domain and will be DRM 
free, but many eBooks that you pay for will be locked to your particular user 
ID with a given vendor. A quick search reveals that Borders relies on an Adobe 
ID to enforce its DRM. Apple and iBooks rely on your Apple ID.

For DRM protected eBooks you may find you need to maintain a separate reader on 
your iPad for each vendor that you purchase from. It is a case of having to 
enter the correct ID for a given vender. In my case, for instance, I try to 
purchase a book on the iTunes book store first and if it is not available I 
check Amazon. For my iTunes eBooks I use the iBooks reader app, and for my 
Amazon purchases I use the Kindle app.

This is far from satisfactory and it is something that the vendors could easily 
fix with a bit of cooperation. The DRM on the ePub format is standardised so it 
would not be hard for one piece of software to maintain multiple IDs for the 
various vendors and use the correct ID to open each eBook. At the moment, 
however, there is an arms race between vendors to win market share and there is 
very little cooperation in evidence.

I would recommend limiting the number of vendors you  purchase DRM protected 
eBooks from to the bare minimum to save headaches with managing multiple 
accounts and IDs.

Cheers,
Carlo

 Hi Chris,
 
 I just noticed no-one has answered your question. :(
 
 Unless Fishpond have changed; Fishpond eBooks cannot be downloaded, they 
 have to be read online.
 
 There is nothing obvious to indicate that the purchase of the ebook won't 
 allow download and you can read it offline on your iPad.
 
 But I just tried with a free eBook just to see if Fishpond had changed, 
 but no... It can only be read in Fishpond online.
 
 I did a quick google search and found that one person emailed Fishpond and 
 received a Refund for the eBook he purchased as he thought he would be 
 able to download the eBook to read on his eBook Reader.
 
 Hopefully they will adjust their website to make it more clear what the 
 ebook you are buying actually is.
 
 Normally with other sellers of ePub eBooks you can download directly to 
 your iPad into iBooks, or to your Mac so you can then Add to iTunes 
 Library and the ePub appears under Library in Books.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Hi Tom,

What is happening when you use TTP 6 to create the eDrive?
Does it go through all the process and indicates it is complete, but then you 
find it is not bootable?
Are you creating the eDrive on a FW External Drive or what?

Have you tried repairing disk permissions on the volume chosen as the Mac OS X 
Source Volume and then try to make a new eDrive?

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[Chris Burton]

Hi Laura

Thanks very much for your suggestion of Borders. They do have a very good range 
at reasonable prices. 

After arranging for a refund from Fishpond, I did a search and some ebooks came 
up on itunes, as well as Borders. Both have a good range and prices. 

Is their a difference in the type of ebook format between them or are they the 
same in terms of downloading to the ipad?

Best regards and thankyou very much

Chris

A Cautionary Repair Tale

[cm]

Hi Wamuggers,

Having equipment serviced by an unauthorised dealer may be a false economy. To 
quote a news aggregator site that I follow:

"The combustion of an Apple iPhone 4 after a regional flight in Australia was 
likely caused by a botched repair of the handset by an unauthorized repairer, 
according to air safety investigators in the U.S. and Australia. A small metal 
screw had been misplaced in the battery bay of the handset. The screw punctured 
the battery casing and caused an internal short circuit, making the iPhone emit 
dense smoke."

and here is an article that was linked to by the summary:
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/299453,botched-repair-likely-cause-of-rexs-smoking-iphone.aspx

 New German iPad. You get the gist, even if you don’t speak German.

Re: New German iPad.

[Pat]

Sorry, I should have said this is on Snow Leopard.  Safari is version 5.1.5 and 
is running in 64 bit mode, the Flash Plug-in is version 11.2.202.235, and the 
sound is not muted.  And some other videos play just fine!

It finally occurred to me to switch over to the Lion partition, and it works 
there - highly amusing, as advertised.

I haven't been using Lion - decided I would wait for Mountain Lion before I 
committed to giving up SL.  I only tried Lion because I was interested in 
iBooks Author.  Tried that and decided it was too primitive and clunky, and 
have gone back to SL and InDesign to carry on with my eBook project.

Thanks very much, Ronni and Carlo,

Pat

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[Laura Webb]

Hi Chris

Ages ago I had a similar problem with Fishpond and eBooks and no longer use 
them. I did suggest they should offer a warning for iPad users but it did not 
happen. I find Borders to be very reliable with instant ebook downloads to my 
iPad.

Regards
Laura

 Hi Daniel & John,
 
 I had thought same Apple ID, but then John mentioned he can FaceTime from 
 iPad to iPhone.
 But then John is probably using the phone number for iPhone and of course 
 email address for iPads.
 So iPad to iPad with same email address Apple ID would NOT work.
 
 But, you can get this to work by creating a new email address on one of 
 the iPads.
 
 How to Use FaceTime With the Same Apple ID
 
 Do you want to place calls between two iDevices using the same Apple ID? 
 By default, all devices connected to the same Apple ID utilise the primary 
 email address associated with that Apple ID. This emails they'll all ring 
 if a FaceTime call is placed to that email address. It also means you 
 can't place a class between two devices, just as you can't use one home 
 phone to place a call to your house and answer it with another phone. But 
 luckily, Apple has provided a rather easy workaround for placing FaceTime 
 calls on the same Apple ID.
 
 To place a FaceTime call between two of your Apple devices, you will 
 simply need to add a new email address to one of the devices. This will 
 allow FaceTime to differentiate between the two and place a call to a 
 specific device.
 
 You can add a new email address to FaceTime in the iPad settings. Simply 
 select FaceTime from the left-side menu and tap your finger where it reads 
 "Add Another Email..."
 
 Once you add a new email address, you must verify it by going to that 
 email's inbox. There should be an email waiting for you from Apple with a 
 link that will verify the email address. (If you need to send the 
 verification email again, you can do so from the same settings screen 
 where you added the email.)
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Hi ronnie
And thanks very much for bringing this to my attention. I had no idea & will be 
asking for my $ back! No wonder the ebooks are so cheap @ fishpond.
