itunes books
I have an iTunes gift card - and iTunes now has books - so, will the Vox open those or are iTunes books in some sort of Applecentric format?

They are indeed in Applecentric format, impossible to read on the Vox

it's a shame places don't offer books in one standard format like epub so you can buy and read what you want. I love that the vox can hold the kindle app so I don't lose the books I already bought even though I've moved on. I wonder if there is a way to convert the itunes books...

Okay then, I guess I'm buying more Bay City Rollers' tunes - not!

iBooks uses fairplay DRM which nobody has cracked.
iBooks eBooks might be ePub, might not. We don't know because iBooks does some odd things that are non-standard and probably won't work otherwise. Basically, just ignore the iBookstore. It doesn't exist. It's not there. It's a figment of your imagination. |
