Как читать iBooks в Windows — Вокруг-Дом — 2021

Table of Contents:

Хотя вы можете приобрести книги в Apple iBookstore на компьютере, приложение iBooks доступно только на портативных устройствах Apple и не имеет настольной версии. Книги, продаваемые в iBookstore, имеют общий формат ePub, который может быть прочитан различными настольными приложениями. Чтобы читать книги на компьютере, сначала перенесите файлы книг, хранящиеся на вашем iPad или iPhone, на компьютер, если это необходимо.

Синхронизация iBooks с ПК

Синхронизация вашего iPad или iPhone с выбранными правильными параметрами помещает копию файла книги на ваш компьютер. Для этого подключите iPad или iPhone к компьютеру с помощью USB-кабеля синхронизации. Откройте iTunes и нажмите кнопку с надписью «iPad» или «iPhone», стараясь не нажимать на стрелку вверх, которая отключит ваше устройство. Нажмите «Книги» и установите флажок «Синхронизировать книги». Если вы не хотите, чтобы все книги с вашего устройства также были на вашем ПК, переключите настройку с «Все книги» на «Выбранные книги». Нажмите «Синхронизировать» в нижней части экрана, чтобы получить iBooks для Windows на вашем ПК.

Расположение файла

Дождитесь завершения синхронизации Windows iBooks и нажмите «Готово» в верхней части экрана, чтобы вернуться к обычным меню iTunes. Измените настройки библиотеки, используя раскрывающееся меню в левой части экрана, на «Книги», а затем выберите «Книги» из вариантов в середине верхней части экрана. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши значок книги, которую вы хотите прочитать на своем компьютере, и выберите «Показать в проводнике Windows». Когда открывается проводник Windows, вы можете либо записать местоположение файла книги, либо скопировать его в более удобное или запоминающееся место. Не перемещайте файл из его исходного местоположения, так как это может вызвать проблемы с вашей медиатекой iTunes.

Просмотр книги

Отметив местоположение файла, откройте его с помощью стороннего приложения для чтения с рабочего стола. Вы можете открыть файл с помощью любого приложения для чтения, совместимого с форматом ePub. Популярные варианты включают Adobe Digital Editions, Caliber и FB Reader, хотя большинство приложений для настольных ридеров должны работать с ePub.

Ограничения iBooks

В зависимости от выбранного вами настольного программного обеспечения e-reader у вас могут возникнуть проблемы с открытием файлов Windows iBook, к которым применена защита управления цифровыми правами. Многочисленные сторонние приложения утверждают, что могут удалить эту защиту. Однако это может привести к нарушению авторских или других законов в зависимости от юрисдикции, в которой вы проживаете. Некоторые издания iBookstore, созданные с помощью Apple Author Tool, имеют формат IBA. Хотя этот формат основан на ePub, он настроен таким образом, что вы можете просматривать его только через приложение Apple iBooks, а не стороннее программное обеспечение.

Question: Q: How can I read my iBooks on my PC?

Is it possible to read my iBooks on my PC

If yes, how do I do it?

If no — when is this going to be able to happen?

I have a desktop PC with iTunes, but I have an Apple iPad with iBooks

I’m asking here in the iBooks forum as it relates to iBooks, I’ll also ask in iPad because it relates to iPad as well

Helpful answers

Thanks for the good info Tom. I’m rather annoyed with myself for assuming there would be an ibooks reader, of some sort, on my pc. I’ve recently paid for several ibooks, each in the $25-$40 range, and can now only read them on my iphone or wife’s ipad. It’s so disappointing that, when I travel, I am unable to access these books on my laptop.

Thanks it worked like a charm not sure if something changed recently but it worked for me. I left my IPad at work and this saved the day. But, lesson learned all future ebooks will come from other sources. THANKS

Alright I’m back and have discovered a new way of reading ebooks downloaded off of itunes on a PC.

First check that you have Google Chrome.

Next go to the web store.

Type in the Search bar «magicscroll ebook reader» without Quotes.

Install the extention.

Then open the app and follow the prompts.

It is as easy as that and this app unlike my previous answer is of higher quality and displays the book in book form along with other advntages like automatic scrolling and even a table of contents.

Once Again Good Luck and Happy Reading!

have discovered a new way of reading ebooks downloaded off of itunes on a PC.

Most people ask this question because they want to read best-sellers and other paid-for books from the iBookstore. Your addon will NOT let them do that, it will only work for free books (or those from the very few publishers which do not use DRM).

It is important not to mislead people about this, because your advice could make them spend money on iBooks when to read them on their PC they must in fact buy them elsewhere.

I purchased an ibook and found photo’s in my ibook didn’t always show up correctly on my iphone 4. As much as i love the convenience of taking my iphone everwhere, I would not buy another ibook that can be purchased on paper + having not to squint at smaller display. So What ,ibook doesn’t work on PC. Just do what I’m doing. Don’t support this stuff .You bought it and don’t like restriction’s, Lesson learned .Apple needs to do oh so much better and as a 1 ibook purchaser, I’m sorry , won’t be buying off you again as well as recommending friends do the same .Guess what. Same book purchased thorugh knidle that can be read on iphone app and PC. go figure
