I have ibooks on my ipad that were downloaded under an old itunes account that is no longer active. How can I download these ibooks on other devices?

ibooks were downloaded onto my husband's ipad under a different itunes account (a @me account that is no longer active or accessible). he subsequently used our family itunes account. The ibooks he originally bought that are on his ipad I cannot access and I would like to be able to download these onto my ipad to read.

How can I access these books on my ipad?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.4

Your best bet may be to try and connect that ipad to your itunes and go to file-devices-transfer purchases, and then see if you can add them to your device. I doubt this will work however as they have DRM that will tell you they dont belong to the account you're using.

It is likely you'll need to try and use the account they were purchased with to redownload them.
