Q: HOW DO I LOAD PDF FILES SO THAT I CAN READ THEM ON MY IPOD?

I have books that I downloaded from Free Ebooks that are stored on my compuer as PDF files.  Can I import them directly into ITUNES and then to my IPOD?

    You can either email them to yourself and pick up the email in your iPod and open the PDF attachment, or transfer them to your iPod via these instructions:

    If you have a 3G or later iPod then you can download the iBooks app, import the pdf's in our iTunes Books library tnad then sync them to iBooks on the iPod.

     

    There are are many apps available that can use File Sharing (as discussed above) so yo can use that mentod to get them into your iPod

    NOTE:  PDF books can be a bit of a challange reading them on an iPod.  You may want to consider something like GoodReader which can reflow the text using larger fonts.  There are other PDF readers that can reflow PDF text if GoodReader is not your "cup of tea"

    You can view them directly in Safari or iBooks (install the iBooks app first)

     

    The most easiest way is to download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store, then connect your iPod with iTunes and click "Apps" and then you can Import Documents.

    I just found this item and the article recommended worked perfectly.  The pdfs were imported via Adobe Reader.  I was trying to get them into the books section through itunes.  But this was fine...

     

    Thanks !
