Q: Can I read itune books on my kobo glo reader?  If so, how?

I recently purchased a Kobo Glo and now I would like to load the books that I previously bought from itunes into the reader.  Both devices use the epub format so I hope that this is possible.  I am a senior so it is a little confusing and so I will need detailed instructions.

    The majority of ibooks from iTunes have digital-rights-management on them which tie them to the iBooks app on iOS devices and the iBooks app on Mac computers (the Mac will need OS X Mavericks installed on it) - most ebook stores have DRM which tie their ebooks to their own apps/ereaders. You might be able to copy free ibooks onto it, but the vast majority of paid-for ibooks won't work with it

     

    You can see where your ibooks are stored on your computer (assuming that you have copies of them in the Books part of your library) by right-clicking (control-clicking if using a pre-Mavericks Mac) and selecting 'show in explorer' ('show in finder' on a Mac). I don't have a Kobo so I don't know the process for copy ebooks from a computer.
