I've been happy with the selection of personal reading matial at IBooks but, there's not allot of illustrated reference books. So I ventured out to other ebook sites like google books and found them there but you have to set a whole new account. I don't like having my personal info on the net everywhere and was wondering if there is any other option with a wide range of book that is connected to ITunes.
Had you look in your local library?Quote:

Hope others will chime in w/ additional options - good luck! :)
I would like to have my ebooks on hand to be readily available to use all the time. There are abundance of books I would like to have so I will I've give the Gunther Project a couple more rounds
If you already have books in PDF, navigate to them and select. You will be asked to open them within -:
Select the app say 'ibooks' or 'evernote' and wallah, the book is saved into that apps library for reading.
Download Kindle for iPad . You'll have a choice of 900,000 books. Most people already have an Amazon account so it will be the same credit info
