Syncing Books and PDFs
Use iTunes to sync your books and PDFs between iPod touch and your computer.
When iPod touch is connected to your computer, the Books pane lets you select which
items to sync.
You can sync books that you download or purchase from the iBookstore. You can also
add DRM-free ePub books and PDFs to your iTunes library. There are several websites
that oer books in ePub and PDF format.
Sync an ePub book or PDF to iPod touch: Download the book or PDF using your
computer. Then, in iTunes, choose File > Add to Library and select the le. Connect
iPod touch to your computer, select the book or PDF in the Books pane in iTunes, and
then sync iPod touch.
If a PDF doesn’t appear in the Books pane, you need to change its type in iTunes.
Search your iTunes library to nd the PDF, select it, then choose File > Get Info. In the
Options section of the le information window, choose Book from the Media Kind
pop-up menu, then click OK.
Using the iBookstore
In the iBooks app, tap Store to open the iBookstore. From there, you can browse
featured books or best sellers, and browse for books by author or topic. When you nd
a book you like, you can purchase and download it.

If you’ve already purchased a book and want to download it again, tap Purchases in
the iBookstore and nd the book in the list. Then tap Redownload.
Books that you purchase are synced to your iTunes library the next time you sync
