Books app on IPad
Books app on IPad - Hopefully this is the right forum for this post...!
1. Running Windows 10 Pro - reading with BOOKS on ipad - converting with EPUBOR 2. PROBLEM: all books (KINDLE) are converted to ePUB with no issues. 3. When connecting iPad to import to BOOKS - most all import with no problem 4. However, there are several books for which the option to import to BOOKS is not available... 5. BOOKS is not in the list to import to and I don't see a way to add it... What am I missing here... Your input is appreciated... Thanks Ed |

Why not use just another app that can read ePub? The iPad books app is so limited compared to many others.

Most of us use Calibre to manage our book collections, and then send to whichever reader, or download to whichever reader we wish to use. I have a current preference for Hyphen reader, others like Marvin, or Mapleread. But in general, the reader is not the book manager.

Of course checking another ePub reading app to see if they can handle the files Books cannot would be the first thing to check. Perhaps the conversion was not successful.

I ran the conversion twice and Calibre itself give me a "not convertable" message...
