One of the most awaited features of the iPad is its eBook reader. Ipad users have the chance to create their own virtual bookshelf and download ebooks from Apple's own iBoostore. This all is possible by taking advantage of the so called iBook app which comes pre installed with each Ipad. The downside of this app is that ebooks offered at Apple's iBookstore are pretty expensive. You have to expect to pay up to $14.99 for a single ebook. This is why Ipad owners all over the world are looking for cheaper ways to download ebooks for Ipad.
Worries were eventually taken away after learning that Apple chose to use the EPUB format. An EPUB is a file format similar to MS Words DOC and Adobes PDF. EPUB, however, is free and standardized type of file format. Why is this a good thing? Because it is universal that means almost every ebook reader can read this file format. One big exception to the list of eReaders is Amazons Kindle. You have to convert the file that can be understood by Kindle first before you are able to read it.
The question that is still left to be answered is where you can find cheap Ipad books online and how you can avoid paying up to $14.99 for a single ebook at Apple's iBookstore. One thing you should note first of all is that Google offers over one million free books online. Google has provided a huge number of public domain books in the EPUB format. You just have to search for the eBook that you are looking for and pray that lucks on your side to get a free eBook from Google. Another option is to take advantage of epubBooks. This site has been developed by Mike Cook. Its contents or list of books are somehow the same with Googles but they added additional features such as black and white or color illustrations. Mike Cook claims that even the ebooks are given away for free, the quality is still extremely good.
You can also take advantage of the free downloadable contents (of course, in EPUB format) provided by your local libraries. You will find that many libraries all over the world even offer digital libraries online offering free EPUB ebooks downloads for free.
If you are a lover of classic books, you might want to check out Project Gutenberg website. Project Gutenberg will give you access to over 30,000 ebooks for free. These ebooks can be offered for free, because the copyright has expired and they are now in the public domain.
If you start a search on Google you will find a lot of websites offering either Ipad downloads or at a very cheap price.
