Kindle might sell pretty well but it's no iPod of books. A DVD sized e-book reader about say half the thickness or slightly thicker with great battery life, a headphone jack and a speaker without massive bezels, silly chin and with simple software is what's missing in the e-book reader world. A DVD case is 9" on the diagonal and is about the smallest an e-ink book reader should be. A tiny 6" screen for reading books is a joke, sorry. If not, tap Docs on the top menu, then tap Device: the ebook should appear there, as well. The ebook should appear on the device’s carousel screen. Wait for the file to transfer and safely eject the device from your computer. Would much prefer if they scrapped all of the models and just focused on making one awesome 9" model and tried to bring the prices down through economies of scale, selling just a single model in black and white and one storage size: we're talking books.įurther, another thing Kindle needs is a headphone jack and a built-in speaker like Kindle 3 had. Find the MOBI file you saved in step 1, then drag-and-drop it into the device’s Books folder.
#IMPORT BOOKS INTO KINDLE APP IPAD HOW TO#
If you need help, we have a guide on how to avoid automatic synchronization with iTunes. NOTE: To avoid Automatic synchronization with iTunes, hold down Shif+Ctrl while launching iTunes. What Kindles have going for them mostly is price, but that really in my mind only applies to the cheapest model. Then choose Selected books and check the box next to the PDF documents you’d like to transfer to the iPad or iPhone.
I'd also like to see a slightly thicker reader with longer battery life. If Apple made a 9" e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book "Apple Page" or "Apple Book" and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. I do wish Apple would add e-ink tech to iPads but that’s probably hard to engineer.
