Not able to open a book
I down loaded one book and synced my ipad but it will not open on my ipad, but others I have bought before will open. HELP

Try restarting the book app, then try to open the book.

What do you mean by restarting the book app? I have closed the bookshelf and opened it again and also let the ipad go to sleep but that did noy help. I have also tried to delete it but it would not select under editing. It also has a blue line on the cover like it was still down loading,
If it has a blue line on it then it hasn't finished downloading. Your iPad is still online ? Try closing the iBooks app via the iPad's taskbar and see if the book completes downloading when you re-open the app : from the iPad's home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you re-open iBooks does that book complete downloading ?
If it doesn't then you could try a soft-reset as well and see if it completes after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Tried all this and not the blue bar is black but still will not open? Any other ideas?
Tried to sync one more time and it worked! Thanks so much!
My books are downloaded - some recent some older. None of them will open.
