Baker Street Irregulars discussion

New mailing list for Sherlock Holmes fans that would like to review books on the iPad.
Each week we will give away 10 copies of a book on the iPad for fans to review. http://eepurl.com/rHS_9

It is only for the ipad? Will it work for other tablets?

I hope it works on other talbets like NOOK or KINDLE

What is the file format? Calibre is a free program that will convert most formats to mobi or epub for the Kindle or Nook.

i hv an ipad.... lets c now, i hv subscribed to it!

I have nook, kindle for PC, and Calibre. I have Kobo for PC and Adobe digital reader. I trust I can read it from one of those.

Please let us know if it will work on Kindle. All it mentions is I-Pad.

Will do, I would think I would have a better chance with Calibre. The concern if if books shipped as Ibooks. Wife has an Ipad so I might be able to handle, but here is hoping that UK published ships as EPUB, not IBook format.

From Ipad compatibility list:


ePub - this open ebook format is used by many online stores. You can also convert other formats to ePub and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.
PDF - PDF is the reigning downloading document format on the website, so you're likely to find ebooks in this format. The iPad lets you load PDFs onto your iPad and read them via third-party apps.

iBooks - the books purchased through the iBooks Store are actually in ePub format, but include DRM to prevent unauthorized sharing or copying.

Kindle - Amazon's Kindle isn't just an ereader that competes with the iPad, it's also an ebook format. Though you can't read Kindle books through the iBooks apps, you can read them on the iPad using Amazon's Kindle app.
Barnes & Noble - Just like with Amazon, Barnes & Noble has an app that lets you buy read books purchased from their online store on the iPad.
