Mar 24, 2016 6:09 AM in response to mmarinaroby Jay-Ray,★HelpfulMusic is easier as it was already in a digital format (on a CD) when you moved it (ripped it) to the computer and synced it wherever you wanted it to be. As far as book, they aren;t digital, so your only plausible options is to see if the book you want is available on the iBook Store, then purchase it. iBooks will also take PDF files which you can save directly from Safari or Email on your iPad or use iTunes to sync them from your computer to iBooks.

Mar 24, 2016 6:09 AM in response to Jay-Rayby mmarinaro,Thanks. Makes sense of course.
I think what I was looking for was some way to scan the ISBN or similar and have that trigger a download of the book's digital equivalent from the iBooks store.
Clearly there are some copyright, ownership, etc... concerns. But can't see how these are terribly different from those of the music from CDs. Who didn't borrow a CD or two from friends to add to their iTunes library?

The setup for ebooks may evolve in that direction someday, but it is totally different now. You have to buy the digital version separately, and if from the iBookstore, it can only be read on an Apple device, with sharing limited to family.
