Okee Dokee.
I bought my wife an iPad because, except for their need to own and control everything, Apple produces products that don't usually take a lot of in-depth technical knowledge to use.
Bought the iPad before we realized Library books and iPad don't mix. Got a stack of books my wife was reading when I bought it, and paid $8 a book at iBooks and Kindle for two of them as part of the gift, and she bought a few more at B&N using gift cards, but she finally went back to pbooks when the gift cards ran out.
Been reading here how iBooks reads .pdf's just fine, and all I have to do is drag and drop them from iTunes onto the iPad. I figured out that you need to drop a book into iTunes in order for a "books" folder to first appear, but when I attempt to drag and drop from the iTunes/Books folder into the iPad/Books folder, I get the little "can't do it" circle/slash symbol.
These are scanned pdf's of a paperback flattened out on the scanner in order to do a cheap and dirty ebook that should fit just fine on the iPad screen. Initial attempts to see how it single scanned pages look on my Astak PPro certainly get my vote that this is not the way to go for a 5" screen. However, I figured it would be fine for the iPad.
But no drag and dropping allowed. Any hints on what steps I am missing?
Thanks
