How to Sync Books With iTunes and Add Other eBooks to Your iPad

You can sync iBooks on your iPad with your computer by using iTunes. First you have to open iTunes and connect your iPad to your computer. This allows you to transfer books purchased on iBooks to your iPad. The benefit of doing this is to keep a backup copy of your book on your computer just in case it's deleted on your iPad.

1) On iTunes select "File"

2) Select "Transfer Purchases from iPad"

One of benefits of storing books on your computer is the increased flash drive space on your iPad. If you are voracious reader and have a large eBook collection, you can save iPad drive space by offloading books you have read onto your desktop hard drive.

1) Click on your iPad name in the left hand panel (i.e. iTunes Source List).

2) Click the "Books" tab in the main iTunes panel.

3) You now have the option of syncing your entire book collection or choosing selected titles. If you only want to off load a few books on the iPad, click the "Selected Book" icon.

Saving other eBooks to your iPad.

Your iPad can also read other types of eBooks. Everything does not have to be purchased through iTunes. iBook uses the ePub format for digital books. Your iPad can read any type of ePub book from various online sellers. Books in ePub format will have the .epub file extension. A great source of eBooks is from Google Books and Project Gutenberg ( http://www.gutenberg.org ). Project Gutenberg is a great source for free, ePub encoded books. Many of the classic works and many non-copyrighted books can be found here.

To add ePub books and.pdf files:

1) In iTunes click "File"

2) Click "Add to library"

3) Once the file is added, hit "sync"

4) iTunes will not load your eBook onto your iPad. You will find those files in the iBook app.

Amazon Kindle & Barnes & Noble Nook

For those who have an Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook, you can read those eBooks on your iPad by downloading the free Kindle and Nook readers from the App Store. With the Kindle and Nook, you will find many free books but you will have to pay for most contemporary publications.

You can also read many online books offline by using a an off line page saving app. We suggest getting Instapaper. With Instapaper you can read your favorite webpages offline. The iPad app allows you to save websites and webpages for later reading. One of the major benefits of using Instapaper over other apps of the same variety is Instapaper's integration with other apps. Because Instapaper has become the most acclaimed app in its category, over 135 other iOS apps support Instapaper. Instapaper does more than just save webpage for future reading. It does it very smoothly and smartly. To optimize for iPad or iPhone screen dimensions, Instapaper removes most of the ads and unnecessary content. Instapaper also allows you to customize the font and the type size of your saved web pages.

iPad Apps Review - 5 Ways to Read eBooks, Comic Books and More

With the recent release of the iPad, more and more users are experiencing just how capable the device can be in terms of usability and versatility. When the iPad was released, many people were intrigued upon learning that book reading through different apps could easily be conducted with a touch of the screen.

What sets iPad apart from other mobile book readers is the fact that Apple was able to program into the iPad the ability to vividly capture colorful scenery and stunning lifelike pictures. Books are able to come to life much more effectively than they otherwise would be on other devices. The iPad is also able to support video downloads to go with the book that is being read while also incorporating interactivity between the user and the book. Let's take a look at some of the best ebook reading applications that are compatible with the iPad.

Kindle

The main aspect of Kindle that sets it apart from the rest of the iPad reading apps is the sheer volume of books that are able to be downloaded and read. With almost 500,000 books being available for instant reading, Kindle is able to offer users of the iPad a variety of reading material that no other app can. Kindle also gives the reader an option as to what background they would rather read on. Users can choose between white and black depending on whichever is easier for that particular individual.

iBooks

iBooks is an application that comes directly from Apple. While its lineup of books is not nearly as diverse as Kindle, it does give the reader the advantage of being able to read a "demo" version of the book, which can range from a few pages to entire chapters. This should give the reader ample opportunity to decide if the book is worth reading or not. iBooks also offers up a lifelike page-turning feature that is sure to make you forget that you are reading a book on an iPad.

Comics

Marvel, the same company that brought you comic books like the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man, also offers up its own app on the iPad. For a minimal price, users can access over 350 individual issues of different Marvel comic series. Another interesting concept that the Marvel Comics app introduces is the ability to focus in on different parts of a certain page to really be able to distinguish what the author was trying to convey with his drawings.

WattPad

The WattPad, which is still the only ebook reading application that support all available mobile devices, gives users a different kind of experience when reading from their iPad. While it has taken a great deal of criticism for allowing users to upload published books to the community, the wide array of free books that WattPad offers is amazing. There are many ebook versions of some of the most popular books ever written, and they are all free, but the reader should be warned that some have claimed that certain books on WattPad violate existing piracy laws.

Cloud Readers

Cloud Readers is a free app that allows for easy book and comic book reading through the iPad. The aspect that really sets apart Cloud Readers from other competitors is that it really does a phenomenal job in reading and presenting.PDF files on the iPad. Any book or comic can now be read in an original.PDF file easily and efficiently. Cloud Readers also allows you to read public domain books that are submitted to the Cloud Readers community. These books are all free and can be read at any time.
