Can't get book to load

Hey all. I've looked around a bit but couldn't find an answer yet. So anyway the wife purchased a book on her iphone from the apple store. I've tried to load it on the KT but have had no luck. it just won't open.
any help would be great.

Unfortunately, the issue of DRM on Apple eBooks has not been "solved" yet.

As Peter said, Apple DRM is not compatible with Kobo (or anything other than an Apple device for that matter). AFAIK there is no way to remove the DRM so that it could be used on a different device. Kobo will use Adobe DRM'ed e-pubs natively (most e-pub's except from Barnes and Noble) or if you remove the DRM from the books you purchase you can use e-pubs from anywhere (including B&N) or use Calibre to convert other formats (i.e. Amazon) to e-pub that will work on the Kobo.

Thanks for the quick replies. I guess she is stuck reading this one one her phone. It actually works out for me as she won't be using my KT that i got for x-mas. Lately with her of now on mat leave she's been using it more than me.
Again thanks for the quick replies.
