Q: Can I store books & comics on iCloud?  If so, how?

I need to free up space on my iPad 2.  I have a lot of books & comics, & would love to store them on iClouds.  Is this possible?  HELP, please!

    Unfortunately you cannot store everything on iCloud. If you purchased the books in the iBookstore please make sure that they are still available. For other books (e.g. PDFs) I would suggest to look for a other cloud storage like Dropbox etc., where you can store your personal files.

    "What is backed up

     

    You get unlimited free storage for:

     

    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books

    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

     

    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

     

    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:

     

    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll

    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)

    App data

    Home screen and app organization

    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)

    Ringtones

    Visual Voicemails"
