Hi,
Have a new iPad3.
Looking into the downloading of free books into it, and have, of course, looked at Project Gutenberg.
I wanted to download "Leonardo DaVinci Complete Notebooks".
Apparently, the format options are epub which has no pix, it says.
But there is also an HTML option with, presumably, pix.
The ePub seems to work; downloads to iBooks just fine, but the HTML will not.
Very confused.
Are all their ipad downloadable books (only) in ePub format ?
If so, then why bother putting the HTML option there at all ?
If anyone could explain all of this for me, would be most appreciative.
BTW:
- is there an APP for them, or does everything have to be done your Browser ?
- is there any "better" source for downloadable free books; hopefully of more recent vintage ?
Thanks; appreciate the help,
Bob
