I am just starting to learn about iBooks, & I am not very good with computers yet. 😕😊
The website BookBub seems to have a lot of good book deals, including free books to download into iBooks. Before I do anything with them, I wanted to ask if they are safe to use. Does anyone have any experience with them or know of them? Thanks. 🙂

Bookbub does not appear to be a service you download books from. Rather, it sends you an email letting you know what the deals are on variety of sites, including Amazon Kindle (requires the Kindle app), and iBooks.
It seems you are correct. At first, it appeared that I could download the books directly from BookBub. I had to choose my type of e-reader, such Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Apple. I thought that meant they would download the book to my Apple device. After reading your comment, I went back to BookBub. I decided to try "buying" one of the free books, to see how it was handled. It turns out that when I click on "buy," and Apple, they send me into the Apple store, to the page where I can then get the book, for free. So, it turns out that I am actually downloading the books from the Apple store. Problem solved. Thanks for your help. 🙂
Glad you figured it out.
Just an FYI, you can also read all those free Amazon Kindle books on your phone as well if you download the Kindle app.
Is it safe to download books from the site BookBub?
