Apple's popularity and profits have skyrocketed with the iPhone, iPad and iPod. The company has found success in making electronic devices highly portable and highly useful for doing everything from making voice and video calls to surfing the Web to reading books. Apple's free iBooks app is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and gives you instant access to books available through the iBookstore as well as other sources like Google Books -- as long as they are available in the ePub digital file type. You can easily add Google Books to iBooks in just a matter of moments using Apple's iTunes software.
Step 1
Launch Google Books at books.google.com. Click "Go to the Google ebookstore now" to access the digital books. Select a book from within the store and save it to your computer.
