I would like to point out to those who are planning to just convert
Bookshare books to ePub rather than buying the Read2Go app, that they will
save a ton of time by buying the app. It takes on average about 10
seconds
to download most books into the app.
Once you have an ePub file though, just open it in iTunes and you can then
sync with your device.
HTH,
Richard

Speaking of EPub, how do I import them into Ibooks?

Yes, search the list archives for converting to ePub, or Stanza and
Bookshare and you should find lots of information.

Richard,
I was just asking if there is a way to make another file type ePub. Gave
too much information! Being careful typing and not paying attention to
what
I was writing. Sorry!

I'm not sure I know what you are asking.
My understanding is that all iBooks are ePub, but iBooks are protected so
you cannot change them if you down loaded the book using iBooks.

Talking about epub books, are all books from iBooks ePub? If not, will I
have to change them? I am going to read a book for bookshare in this
format
and would like instructions on how to change it if necessary. Thanks!

as easy to use.
If you want to jump through a bunch of hoops to say the $19.99 you could
use
the XML file from the zip file and then use Stanza to create an ePub
version
and read it in iBooks, or something else. You could even convert it to
simple .txt and read it in a number of apps.
If you are not familiar with Stanza, I'd search the archives of this
group.
There are detailed instructions how to convert Bookshare books using
Stanza.

Hello folks,
I'm just wondering if there are any alternatives to the Read2Go iOS app
for
reading Bookshare content on my iPhone. $19.99 is a bit steep for an
applaud if there are any free or low-cost alternatives I can use, I would
be
grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks,
Kevin
