    Book download problem

    I tried doing a book download the same way I download video material, but I want this book on my iPad.

    I bought the book online and downloaded it onto my laptop. I click and drag it from my downloads into iTunes on my laptop. Then I synced my iPad. I can't find the book now in iTunes on the iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

    The difference between this and previous downloads is on the previous ones I just used the downloaded material right on my laptop. This the first time I've tried to put something onto my iPad.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Normal import to iTunes should pick it up

    Open iTunes, file>add to library>(select your file)>choose.

    Hot synch.

    That was easy.

    Where did you buy the book from? What format is it in? And is it DRM (copy protected).
