Apple iPod touch iOS 4.3 - Manual (Page 185)

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 offer 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 file. 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 find the PDF, select it, then choose File > Get Info. In the
Options section of the file 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 find
a book you like, you can purchase and download it.
Note: Some features of the iBookstore may not be available in all locations.
Get more information: In the iBookstore, you can read a summary of the book, read
or write a review, and download a sample of the book before buying it.
Purchase a book: Find a book you want, tap the price, then tap Buy Now. Sign in to
your Apple account, then tap OK. Some books may be free for downloading.
The purchase is charged to your Apple account. If you make additional purchases
within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.
If you’ve already purchased a book and want to download it again, tap Purchases in
the iBookstore and find the book in the list. Then tap Redownload.
Books that you purchase are synced to your iTunes library the next time you sync
iPod touch with your computer. This provides a backup in case you delete the book
from iPod touch.
