Q: i downloaded a book last night from I Tunes and why am I not able to find it anywhere on the I Pad?

Why can't   I find the book which  i purchased on  I tunes last night?  Even my computer savvy son couldn't find it or my grandkids. I am on a trip and would really like to listen to the book. Thanks for helping!  Granny

    When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app - is it in there ?

     

    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.
