Ibooks Cbz

[Michele Firmasyah]

Iuploaded a few audiobook (mp4) files to my dropbox and want to save them on my phone in ibooks. I don't see ibooks listed in the export options. How do I add it? Or is there a different way to save these files?

Please keep in mind that based on a quick search I did online, I could see that iBooks can be saved on your devices as ePub files. Dropbox can't preview this filetype, though these can be transferred across devices using Dropbox if you put them inside the Dropbox folder.

#2. Copy the ePub files from iBooks into the Dropbox folder on your computer. Please keep in mind that everything you put in Dropbox will automatically be synced with the Dropbox app on your iPhone/iPad.

I'm creating ebooks for a client using InDesign CC and she reports that the most recent EPUB I've created for her won't open in iBooks. As I don't own a smartphone or tablet I can't error-test on my end, but if you can think of anything that would lead to this error please let me know! I can't think of anything I've done differently in creating the EPUB, so maybe it's an issue with a recent CC or iBooks update? Has anyone else had this problem recently? The other ebooks I've made for her open fine.

Her report on what happened: "when I go to my downloads folder and double click the file -- it opens the book shelf in ibooks and shows that the file is there but it has no cover. When i double click the book the program doesnt do anything. it doesnt open."

Not sure which version, but I know she's on a Mac OS and NOT an iPad. I'm going to try to replicate the error on my end with a few Apple devices that my friends own, but haven't had the chance to do so yet. Do you have any clue at all what might be happening? Right now I'm sitting on my hands because I don't know where to begin!

Have you tried running an EPUB checker on your file to make sure it isn't actually anything on your end? Other than that I would just suggest making sure she has the most up to date version of iBooks.

So I tried running the ebook through two ebook checkers and also opened it up just fine on another iOS device (which *should* be the only thing you can use iBooks on--so why my client said she was running it on a Mac is a mystery to me). So far so nothing--there were a few errors about best use practices and inline objects that I'll tweak, but nothing catastrophic.

In your last post here, you also had the same problem with the cover, which I think was due to the CMYK mode settings. Now I have no idea if iBooks doesn't display cover images that are CMYK, but usually images should be RGB (or Grayscale) in EPUB in order for them to display in ADE and Nook.

I have several PDFs that I've downloaded to iBooks on my iPad for some classes I'm taking. When I sync my iPad with my iMac, I'm told it will not take files from the iPad that are not already in iBooks on the iMac. recently I downloaded several for a class and need to sync and update the IOS on my iPad. I am nervous about what might happen to my PDFs when I do this so I'm thinking about switching where i keep them to Evernote. So I'd like to know how I can move the ones I have now in ibooks on my iPad to my account in Evernote? Can I?

2. If this is not possible, you can open each PDF in iBooks, click the little share icon in the top left (box with upward pointing arrow), and email the PDF to your Evernote email address. This will create a new note with that PDF attached in Evernote.

Can't you address iBooks files through iTunes? I don't have my computer with me at the moment to check, and I don't know iBooks enough to say, but this isn't really an Evernote question. You can put PDFs into Evernote easily -- the trick will be getting them out of iBooks. Have you tried iTunes?

I interpreted her issue as being that the OP downloaded these PDFs while using their iPad and opened them into iBooks instead of into Evernote or any other, more flexible, application that has an "open in.." function. So unless they can access the files at their original source, they're "trapped" in iBooks.

I tried as you had suggested using both the (now largely deprecated) Books tab for the device in iTunes and this does not offer that ability. Likewise, the "on this iPad" tab lists the books/PDFs, but doesn't allow any drag/drop (you can drag, but dropping does nothing...)

I posted here because I thought there might be other mac users here who are as frustrated as I am with the change to iBooks and our ability to rename items on the iMac and if we download them on an iPad, getting them to the iMac for back up and having the name not get changed. I decided to stop using iBooks and since I have an Evernote account and use it for other things, I thought it might be a good replacement for my PDF collection.

I assumed iBooks would work seamlessly between my devices (who doesn't ??) and now that we have lost some control and flexibility with recent updates, I am looking to stop using it. Hence, I posted here to see what other mac users who are on the forums might be able to tell me.

And I cannot go and re download them as they came from several sites and I no longer have the original list to start over. I saw that I can email them one by one and while I am grateful that is an option, I remain hopeful another mac user, or any user, might know a way to export them all or select all, etc.

Grumpy Monkey, I also don't care for this new 'controlling' aspect of ibooks and iTunes. I did update my software and did a sync and it did ***** up all my pdfs. I do have them correctly listed in a folder so I will look for some ways to re add them to ibooks. I did load some of them into evernote but I hit the limit for the Month. wish I'd started this yesterday! LOL

iTunes and other i-stuff can be frustrating at times. I believe Apple's emphasis is on ease of use for users, and they assume the easiest hing will be to use their stuff! If you disagree, you may well find it quite laborious to remove data, and "easier" to just stay with their stuff. A self-fulfilling prophecy! On the iPad, I use iAnnotate and PDF Expert a lot for PDFs. These can be synced with Dropbox. I would strongly recommend a copy of all data (including Evernote) be kept independently on external drives. You can read more about this at my website (see link in my signature).

If you are moving pdfs into Evernote on the desktop, don't forget hat monthly upload allowances are unaffected by local notebooks. You can move your PDFs first into here and slowly migrate them into synced notebooks whenever you have upload allowance to spare.

Yes I cannot speak highly enough about PDF Expert for iPad. In my opinion, iBooks is for ePub books only, PDFs never go to the mysterious world of iBooks. Anything PDF is in Dropbox and managed by PDF expert where they are also backed up in Dropbox and on my local computer (which is then, also backed up). Safety.

I agree the way iBooks has evolved has made it very hostile to any content that isn't purchased from the iBookstore.. Though this isn't too different than say, the Kindle app which is just as bad for handling your own non-amazon purchased content across machines...

From what I've read on the apple discussions, and what you said Scott about Kindle, etc., helps keep it in context. If apple originally made this for their purchases, as the Amazon Kindle has, I can see any of them not wanting to put a lot of tech time into making it work for items/documents whose design and/or interaction style is out of their control. they'd end up having to fix issues that may be outside of their original design... or so my mind is surmising this morning.
