archangel9 Posted 10 November , 2012 Share Posted 10 November , 2012 Blasphemy!!! Very true! I don't know what I was thinking! I had a glass or three of a rather fine wine this afternoon. I'm sure I will find a way to......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrenched Posted 10 November , 2012 Share Posted 10 November , 2012 Can these be downloaded to an ordinary home pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Treport Posted 10 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2012 It says "you can download to your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or PC via iTunes". If you dont have iTunes you can download versions for Windows and Mac for nothing. I presume you can then read them in iTunes... ??? I have them on my iPad in iBooks.

Roxy Posted 10 November , 2012 Share Posted 10 November , 2012 I've downloaded them, but I can't read them on my PC - not even in i-tunes. A bit annoying! Can anyone help? Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalyback Posted 11 November , 2012 Share Posted 11 November , 2012 Get onto the app store and download I-books app. It can also read PDF docs. I think the app is still free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted 11 November , 2012 Share Posted 11 November , 2012 I downloaded the ibooks app; still doesn't work. Should I be able to read them in i-tunes? Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Treport Posted 11 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 11 November , 2012 http://stanza-desktop.en.softonic.com/ Above might help? Google (other search engines are available) 'Read iBooks on PC' might suggest others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandy hall Posted 11 November , 2012 Share Posted 11 November , 2012 Just got my daughter to download onto her ipad, now all I have got to do is get it away from her at some point to be able to read them. Thanks Le Treport Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fair Posted 15 November , 2012 Share Posted 15 November , 2012 Thanks for the tip-off, just dowloaded the lot. Very useful for my next. I had already bought Stephen Coopers Final Whistle for my Dads Xmas prezzie so its nice to have my own copy. Offer runs out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted 19 November , 2012 Share Posted 19 November , 2012 I've given up on them! I've moved on to pieces of paper; bound together in a book! Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelS Posted 19 November , 2012 Share Posted 19 November , 2012 Geraint, if you haven't got an iwhatever, don't kick yourself over it; unlike with Kindle which has free 'Windows' software available to allow its (ie Amazon's & other compatible) ebooks to be read on a PC, Apple have decided - at least as far as I can determine - to be a dog-in-a-manger by requiring that you must have one of its toys to be allowed to read its iBooks Edit: NB it appears that the free iTunes download for Windows PCs only allows download of iTunes & iBooks to a PC for them then to be transferred & read or listened to on an iwhatever.
