How to Convert an E-Book Into an iPad iBook Format

Reading a book with your iPad can be very convenient especially if you're a student. However, viewing a PDF file in an iPad is not possible if you have not converted the file into an iBook format. You can convert the PDF file to run in the iPhone for free, using Calibre. This is a popular iPad book converter software.

Here are the steps on how to convert your e-book into an iBook:

1. Get the PDF file that needs to be converted.

2. The first thing for you to do is to download and install the caliber e-book converter. The software will vary in each version, and will operate in Mac.

3. Running the calibre converter will take the user to a quick setup. Make sure you specify your e-books folder. This is where your ePub files will be saved.

4. You need to click on continue to be able to see the main calibre interface. To import your file into calibre, click on the Add books button at the top top-left corner of the window.

5. After setting the eBooks folder, click on continue and select Apple from the manufacturers list, which includes iPhone, iTouch, iPad + Stanza from the Devices list.

6. After you finish downloading the e-book meta information, click on the arrow next to the convert E-books button. Select Convert individually from the visible list. Once you're prompted with the summary window before calibre makes the final conversion, click on the OK button.


7. Click on the small arrow next to the Edit Meta information, then select Download metadata and cover files. This will be time calibre will download your saved PDF file. eBooks need to be entered manually including the title of the book and the name of the author if it's not present when you initially load it to calibre.
