I downloaded a book to my iphone but it doesn't automatically download to itunes on my laptop, nor does it show as available when I 'check for downloads'. What gives?

    You already had automatic downloads turned on for Books on your Mac (on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences, command-comma) before you bought the book ? You should also be able to download it on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

    I did not have it set when I downloaded, but it synced when I plugged in my phone. Problem is, now I learn that you can't read iBooks on a laptop??? What a rip!

     

    Thanks for the tip!
