Ok my wife ordered an iPad for me and I have a couple of questions. I do not use a computer, so I can not transfer usb. I will use a program on my phone to give me WiFi access.
1. Need to view code books with graphs in PDF format, what's the best to use? How will I load my books? 2. What's is the best reader to use for regular books, I can convert to almost any format? I'm guessing the easiest way to transfer books would be to email to Google & download using the iPad. I can send books to email but I can't connect to computer because of work and their security. |

I thought I read somewhere that you can setup without a computer, thanks I will do a little more checking.

I can use either - but I definitely prefer the Mac - and your link worked! Those links never displayed in Firefox or Safari - just links to the iPad/iPod/iPhone software. Off to go fiddle with some DRM free .mobis ... -- Riq |

You do need a computer that runs either Windows or OS X. You have to use iTunes to setup the iPad and the account at Apple for access to iTunes/App store. Plus, the computer is how you keep the iPad backed up.

I want to read the pdf version of the June Scientific American on my iPad. The file is 20.9 MB and when I email it to the iPad, I get a "too big to open" error message. I've used Calibre to try to epub the pdf but that results in an extremely corrupted file that is unreadable. Any fixes or workarounds?

To read in iBooks-just drag the PDF to iTunes. To read in Stanza-just drag the PDF to the File sharing area in iTunes. To read in Goodreader-maybe put it in Dropbox and read it from there? |

So can I ask another question? It seems that iBooks and Kobo both use the epub format. Can I buy something at Kobo and read it at iBooks? Seems weird, but I like the ability to look up, highlight, and notate in iBooks. Doug |
