iBooks question?

[Evil Avatar]

Has anyone else played with iBooks on their phone or iPad, etc? Before work I couldn't get iTunes on the pc to read any of the ebooks that I've got in epub format, despite the fact that I see a lot of posts from Mac owners saying it works fine.

Can anyone help me buy a clue?

I use Ibooks all the time for both my iphone and ipad, its great for reading. Lets see, first make sure you have the latest itunes on your PC, and if you are using iphone, you have to have os4 installed. Also, make sure you have ibooks installed on your device (you have to get it from the app store). Then all you have to do is drag your epub format book into your library on itunes. Then sync and it should copy into your device. Just make sure the extension of the file is epub.

Thanks, I figured it out.

It turns out that the files were getting renamed to .zip whe I downloaded them. I'm not sure if it was Windows 7 that was doing that or the site I was downloading from, but it is fixed now.
