Importing Ebooks into Your iPad
To read ebooks on your iPad, you need to install the free iBooks app, which you
can download from the App Store. The iBooks app can display ebooks stored in
the EPUB, iBooks, or PDF file formats. To install the iBooks app, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap App Store. The App Store screen appears.
2. Tap in the Search field in the upper-right corner of the screen. The virtual
keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen.
3. Type iBooks, and tap Search. The iBooks icon appears on the screen.
4. Tap FREE next to the iBooks app. The FREE button turns into an INSTALL
APP button. (If you see the word INSTALLED next to the iBooks icon, that
means you already have iBooks installed on your iPad.)
5. Tap INSTALL APP. A dialog may appear, asking that you type your iTunes
account password. After you type your password, the iPad downloads and
installs the iBooks app.
Importing Ebooks and Audiobooks into iTunes
If you already have an audiobook or ebook stored on your computer, you just need
to import it into iTunes, just like you would a song or video. To import a file into
iTunes, follow these steps:
1. Run the iTunes program on your computer.
2. Choose File4Add to Library (Mac OS X) or File4Add File to Library
(Windows). An Add to Library dialog appears.
3. Click the file that you want to import into iTunes, and click Choose (or Open).
Your chosen file gets loaded into the Books library in iTunes.
Q NOTE: Alternatively, you can simply drag your files from Finder or Windows
Explorer directly into iTunes.
Transferring Ebooks and Audiobooks from iTunes to Your iPad
Once you have some ebooks or audiobooks in iTunes on your computer, you can
transfer them to your iPad. To transfer your files, follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB cable, and run the iTunes
program on your computer.
2. Choose your iPad in the sidebar, and then click the Books tab. The Books
screen appears, as shown in Figure 16-7.
