Sony ereader to ipad

I've had the same problems but we are not without solutions. the BAM reader (books a million) or Bluefire will open your books that you purchased for your sony library. you can either copy them from your library on your PC (My Documents\My Books\Reader Library) and paste them in to the BAM or Bluefire app on itunes. Or you can download Dropbox which I highly recommend becuase you can synch your books or most any other file across many devices. try to open them in dropbox and it will tell you that Dropbox is unable to open the file and will give you an option to open with another app. Choose BAM or Bluefire and your book will be placed in those libraries. The downside is that while you can spread your books around to differnent devices they will not synch your reading locations or bookmarks like it does using the Sony Reader library on your PC or Android. But hey, at least you can read them.

Thank you - I have loaded the BlueFire Reader and it reads my books. I think my problem is solved. Thanks to everyone for their advice.

If you are going to question my logic at least read it first. With an ebook the software maker doesn't really care about the reader so is pretty much prepared to give it away. What they want to keep locked away is the actual money they have invested in the book. Microsoft put the cash into making Excel and will get very tetchy if you make a copy of it, but what you do with Excel files is up to you. In both cases, and logically, the licence protects the commercial content, but in one case that is the book and in the other it is the program. Try telling Microsoft that you have an Excel file you want to pass to your friend so you are going to give the friend a free copy of Excel and see how fast their lawyers get to your door.

Good luck finding a means to get the book transferred, but don't claim you have a right to transfer it from one reader because you bought it in another.

You advise Kitty to read your logic first - good advice; perhaps you should have read Kitty's post first, because you're commenting on something completely different...

At no point did Kitty claim she had a right to transfer books from one reader to another. Nor did she ever complain about it - she simply asked if there was a way. Which, as has been pointed out, there is - so that puts paid to your wittering on about, er, whatever it is you're going on about.

Indeed, you make Kitty's case for her - as you say, what you do with Excel files is up to you - and in this scenario, eBooks are the Excel files, not Excel. Sony has no interest in eBooks; they don't make/publish them, they make eBook readers. In fact, it is in Sony's interest for you to be able to read any eBooks you like on their hardware - that's why they've chosen to allow as many formats as possible onto their device.

Perhaps you are confusing Sony with Amazon? It's the only way your waffle makes any sort of sense. Except for the bit where you can read Amazon books on pretty much any sort of device - be it Amazon's own hardware, or an iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, Android...

Anyway, just to recap - you can indeed read ePub books on iOS devices.

And interestingly for those who know the logic comes from the Greek for word or read, my word 'complaint' was not used in a reply to Kitty but to someone else.

She then goes on to confuse a computer with the programs on it in her response to this. An Apple computer is a machine which can read files from Microsoft, a computer program maker, because Microsoft made a licensed program available to do just that.

And then you steam in.

Good point - your "logic" post was in response to Kitty, but I see the "complaint" post was in response to someone else - I didn't check that.

My bad, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're talking nonsense and just adding confusion to an old thread that has already been solved.
