These questions are part of recent security changes which have been made by 
Apple at the iTunes App Store, and are have been the subject of much 
controversy recently. Answer them once and you won't be asked them again, and 
Yes, they do seem to be a little too obscure to be reliable in 12 months' time! 
Still, by that time we'll probably have some version of iTunes 11 or 12 or 
whatever will come after Mountain Lion is launched, and the system might well 
change again...

You're welcome Chris. Yes there are many sources of DRM free eBooks.  For 
instance there is a repository of eBooks that goes by the name of Project 
Gutenberg. It is a collection of works that have fallen out of copyright and 
into the public domain. ePub books from Project Gutenburg can be download from 
iTunes or directly from their website:

http://gutenberg.net.au/

Also many PDF versions of books are DRM free though not all of them. iBooks 
handles PDFs very well once you learn a few of the navigation commands. Many of 
my text books are in PDF format, and more and more hard cover texts and 
purchased eBooks include DRM free PDF versions.

Hi, Chris,

A slight amendment to my previous reply - the Free Books app is for iPad, but 
the iPhone one is new.

Hi, Chris,

On my iPad, I have iBooks, Kindle, Kobo, Free Books for iPhone (works fine on 
iPad, and as its name implies, has hundreds of free books of many genres), 
GoodReader (for pdfs) and British Library.  The icons for all of these are in 
one stack labeled 'Books'.

Happy reading!
Pat

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[Chris Burton]

Hi Laura

I went to the app store and found the Borders and Kindle apps, but as I clicked 
to install on my ipad, a box appeared wanting me to select 3 different 
questions and answers for security reasons!! 

Is this now normal for downloading any apps from the app store as I havnt seen 
it before?

For me, I can see problems with just remembering 3 different answers 12 months 
from now!!

Best regards

Chris

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[Chris Burton]

Hi Carlo

Thankyou very much for your really informative email regarding the DRM issues 
with ePub books; I had no idea of the disparity between vendors!

I will take your advice and limit the number of apps I need. I guess ibooks, 
borders and amazon would cover most?

Are there any places that I can find and download 'DRM free' ebooks?

Best regards and many thanks

Chris

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

[Laura Webb]

Hi Chris

I have not used iTunes for ebooks. I have the Borders App on my iPad. eBooks 
purchased from them appear instantly in my Borders library. Still amazed at how 
instantaneous it all is. But then I am still amazed at the technology that 
gives us the wonderful world of the iPad. Right now, in the UK, I am able, with 
the Tune in Radio App, to listen to Perth ABC local radio. How good is that?

Laura

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

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

Re: transfer epub book to ipad

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.

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

transfer epub book to ipad

[Chris Burton]

Morning muggers

I watched the Steve Jobs story with great interest last night and marvelled at 
his life and achievements with Apple. It feels really good to have been a part 
of it by using macs all these years and certainly bought up some memories!! For 
example I had forgotten that Apple had licenced other companies to make similar 
machines and I didnt realise that Apple had gone so very close to going under!!

I have been offshore for the last 6 weeks and while away ordered an ebook from 
Fishpond to use on my ipad (v1). However I just wanted to ask what is the best 
way to transfer this epub book to my ipad: via itunes after download to my 
MBPro; by direct download from Fishpond to the ipad, or some other way, as it 
is the first of such books I would like to buy and use on my ipad?

Best regards to all and thanks for any advice.

Chris
