eBooks

To download the e-Book just click on the picture and it will download - be patient! They are between 15 and 50 Mbytes apiece!

The files are in ".epub" format (EPUB is an open exchange eBook format) and I have successfully transferred them to an iPad3 by first downloading the free "Bluefire Reader" app from Apple's web-site (it worked better than Apple's iBook reader). I then used iTunes on my PC to transfer the downloaded files to the iPad3. I am sure that there are other download options but these are what I used.

Here are my steps for copying from PC to iPad

1)   connect iPad to PC   - iTunes should open up automatically.

2)   click on “devices’ on LHS (mine is labeled “Ed’s iPad”)

3)   click on “Apps” on top menu bar

4)  Highlight “Bluefire Reader at the BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN (on my set-up it appears twice and you have to scroll down to see the bottom one!!!)

5)  The window on the RHS show installed books. Click the “Add” button and browse to where you downloaded the e-books on the PC.

6)  Click “Open” to select the book you want to copy.

 

 

To transfer to the Kindle Fire, I used the free download eBook management program "Calibre". "Calibre" reads the .epub files and automatically translates them to the Kindle format.
