how to write an iBook review without using iTunes

zhtey03 · 06-19-2013, 11:35 AM

Hello there,

I am on a dilemma right now on how can I write a review on an iPad book or iBook without downloading an iTunes. Is there any possible way? I hope you could help me as soon as possible. Thanks

Hello, zhtey03, and welcome to MobileRead. I moved your post to the Apple Devices forum. Your chances of receiving a reply to your question will be better here.

There are workarounds. You could email the document from your iPad as an attachment, for example, or use an app like Evernote, but the easiest and only way I know to actually sync your iPad with your Mac or PC is iTunes. That's what I use, and I only only use it to sync items I want synced. Perhaps someone out there knows another way and will offer it as help for both of us.

Oh, FFS!! The OP asked a reasonable question, and has the right to a little bit of respect!

What is it about writing a review of an iBook book do you think requires iTunes? You can visit the store directly from the iBooks app and purchase and download the book. There are plenty of apps that can be used to generate the review. It is fairly easy to switch apps from iBooks to the app you are using to generate the review. You can email the results on upload to a cloud.

Sorry, but you probably can't. To the best of my knowledge, the only way to review anything in the iTunes Store is through iTunes.

I review products directly on my iPad all the time. Unfortunately it won't let me do it from the apps I own screen so I have to look it up in the products.

Yes, you're supposed to be able to review apps (I've never tried to rate a book so I don't know) from the iPad, but often the screen just won't show up, so sometimes if I really want to post a review I have to go through iTunes. Also, you can't rate reviews as useful on the iPad, which I find extremely annoying.
