i am planning to buy an iPad since it looks lighter than a regular desknote and i don not use much of the features of a laptop.-”,

I only read free e-books on my iPad. Almost any format can be converted to ePub for free with http://iiiconverter.com

It is disappointing that I can not get this.

I use the great free software Calibre to convert all my stuff to ePub to read in iBooks. It can covert just about any format to any other format.

I enjoy novels by John Irving, pay corny and Jodi podlike and many others.

I enjoy fiction by John Irving, pat conroy and Jodi luckily.

9th Jan 2011 – I’m using an iPod Touch 4th gen and have recently enjoyed downloading several free books using the iBooks app. However, since yesterday all I get is the message “The item you tried to buy is no longer available”. I must have tried 30 books – NONE of them are available. What’s going on?

I have had exactly the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
