Yes, no problem when our laptops and desktops switch over to iOS:-)

Download Adobe Digital Editions to open .epub and .mobi file types on your mac.

Do you seriously think that's a solution for an 871 page book?

Well said!

Me too! I'm gone to Amazon.

The only way I can read books on my macbook pro is using kindle app just wish apple would relese ibooks for macs when the next update happens then i would truly be happy

Download 'Calbre' it is a nifty little piece of software that will let you read in OSX and or export and create books in most popular formats.

When Apple drops the ball - someone picks it up.....

Calibre will not open any ibooks that have DRM on them, it will only potentially work with free ibooks and those from a few publishers (I think O'Reilly is one) who don't use DRM

Just posting to agree it is bonkers that there is no app for iBooks on OSx. It confirms I made the right choice with Kindle for reading.

THX. More than surprised (after buying a book and hoping to read it this week while traveling) that the APPLE kingdom conflicts. I know - AFTER buying it - must pruchase it again as an audio book!!

Or as a text book from Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony, all of which provided free ereader apps for the Mac and PC.
