Can you read Magic ISO files on ipad?

Hi,
Just wondering whether there is any way to read Magic ISO files on ipad. I've just ordered an ipad and have a whole lot of books in a variety of formats, and would love to be able to view them all on ipad.

I dont think I have seen any apps that support ISO files. You would probably have to put your books on individualy

I'm really not very tech minded, so how do I go about putting the books on individually?

You mention Magic ISO, but I am not really sure what you mean. An ISO file is generaly an exact image of a CD or DVD. Are you saying that your books are in one of these files? An ebook is normaly just one single file which can be dragged straight to the ipad via iTunes. Most ebook files these days are epub files and their file names end in .epub

It might be that your books are ZIP files or in compressed formats, and because you have Magic ISO installed on your machine, it is that that is opening them by default. If this is the case, then within those ZIP files will be your ebook files.

And to follow up on that, GoodReader can extract from zip files on the iPad.

Every person in the world should have a copy of GoodReader, even if they never plan to read a PDF file

It is a file/download manager that happens to include a PDF viewer.

I am really confused. I have a lot of books as pdf files and received my ipad today. I can't work out how to put any of them onto the ipad. I have calibre on my pc and goodreader and ibooks on the ipad. Can someone spell it out for me as I am rather despondent about the situation.

No wait a minute....the penny dropped....big Ooooo and Ahhhhh as I start transferring the books across from Calibre to Goodreader. The ipad is not an expensive yellow citrus fruit after all.
