Not sure if it works since I don't have my iPad yet but I have several PDFs that I want to be able to use with the iBooks app as well so I found this free, open source converter that is pretty easy to use. It's called Calibre and can be downloaded here:

But like I said, it is thus far untested. It will convert several different formats (including PDF) into the epub format that iBooks uses. I think all you have to do is place the epub file in the correct directory and sync it to your iPad via iTunes. At least that is what I am hoping for. I read that as long as the file was not protected and in the correct format then you could sync it over. But don't quote me....

Hi rcalhoun31,

Thanks for the link.

Anyone else use the search bar in iBooks to type "free" to see all the pages of free Gutenberg (sp?) books? I downloaded to bookshelves of free books yesterday (they don't use much memory). Never thought I'd consider using any kind of e-reader but ...

The GoodReader app at .99

Easy to use, works like a charm.

If i get it, i might read the books on this app if they are there. Just to make it a bit funner, but ill just look for a movie first.
