    Hi rosemaryfromdelta,

     

    No, you cannot read iBooks on a Mac. However, you can read Kindle books on a Mac. Download the free Kindle application, set up a Kindle account on Amazon, and purchase your e-books through the Kindle store on Amazon.

     

    P.S. - if you do ever get an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can also download the Kindle app to them, and you will be able to read any books you have purchased on those devices as well....

     

    Hope that helps!

     

    Cheers,
