Is there a way to get a ebook downloaded to an ipad to a kobo glo?

Does the ipad talk to Calibre?

Can we presume that there is no DRM on the ebook on the ipad? Or is there DRM - and which variety - Apple, ADE etc ....

What format is the ebook currently in? Epub or other?

If there is no DRM and the format is Epub and the ipad talks to Calibre then attach the ipad and send it to Calibre, then remove your ipad. Then plug in your Glo to Calibre and copy it over.

What do you mean, downloaded to an ipad? Is it from the iBookstore? Then no, probably not. If it was from a place like Amazon or Kobo then just go to your computer and redownload it.

Hello all

If the books purchased from the iBookstore are DRM (Digital Rights Management) free (Go to iTunes, find the book and use the Get Info option on it, if it says Book or Purchased Book then it will be DRM free) then you should be able to side-load them onto a device / app that supports such files.

If the book is not DRM free (again go to iTunes, use Get Info on the book, and if it says Protected Book then it contains Apple's DRM) then you will not be able to read it in anything other than iBooks. This is due to it using Apple's proprietary DRM format with no other application except iBooks can read.
