Hi.
I got an email from Apple saying about how you can get money off Macs for college students, and that they get £65 to spend.
But, it says you can spend it on the 'iBookstore' and in the picture, it shows a book being displayed on a MacBook Pro.
So how do you read a book on a Mac?
Cheers!
Contact the number on the e-mail and tell them it is deceptive advertising. Their support articles show nothing about iBooks being readable without an iPad. If there is a method of doing it, they should say how to do it in the advertisement. I seached http://www.macupdate.com/ a popular search engine for Mac software and found no evidence the iBookstore is available for Mac OS X.
I am not arguing about it whatsoever. I only started this discussion by asking about whether or not you can read books on a Mac. Simple.
It's just that TO ME it looked as if you could, plus, I'm not the one who said that it was deceptive advertising at first am I?
What's in the "fine print" doesn't matter. It's just that IN MY VIEW, it looks like a book on the screen, and looked to me, as if you could use the £65 on books for your Mac.
If the e-mail only shows pictures and offers for MacBook Pros, and the iBookstore, without having any mention that the iOS device must be used, it is only logical to assume the MacBook Pros and iBookstore are not mutually exclusive. Unfortunately they are at this time. It would help if the e-mail said that the iOS device must be used to read the iBookstore data. I would convey that to the people at Apple offering that e-mail. That's all I'm saying.
Thank You. I'll choose you for correct answer.
