Question

Can I read while on airplane mode, and does it use up my family share data?

Community Answer

You can read on airplane mode and it does not take any data. Books don't require an internet connection to be read.

Question

How do I download a library book to the Kindle app on my iPad?

Community Answer

Generally, you can only check out a physical copy of a library book. Your library may or may not also offer e-books/downloads as a separate option. If it does, there will be a link to that catalog on your library's website. Within that catalog, you can search for Kindle books. The options will likely be very limited, if there are any, but if you find a book you like, you can send it to your Kindle app through the checkout process on the website.

It will say before you buy it, and you will get a confirmation email about it from Apple.

My new iPad showing previously purchased books as not downloaded. What can I do?

Just click the icon of a cloud and the line pointing down beside a book, if there is one, and that should download it again.

Question

Will my iPad stop downloading books if I get too many?

Torpi

Top Answerer

Yes, your iPad will stop downloading books if you run out of memory. This depends not just on the number of books that you have, and their size (a 400-page full-colour medical textbook takes up more memory than an 800-page unillustrated book), but also on everything else you have stored on the iPad, from books to movies to apps.

Question

How can I put eBooks bought from Amazon and BookBub seller libraries into my iPad library?

Snakey006550

Top Answerer

For Amazon Kindle books, download the Kindle app on your iPad and sign in to sync your books automatically. For BookBub or other sellers, check the file format (EPUB or PDF), transfer it to your iPad using the Files app or email, and select "Open in Books" to add it to Apple Books.

Question

How do I save my page when I've borrowed an ebook from the library, so I can return to it later?

Snakey006550

Top Answerer

Most library ebook apps, like Libby or OverDrive, automatically save your reading progress. Simply close the book, and when you reopen it later, it will return to the last page you read. If you're unsure, check for a "bookmark" icon in the app and tap it to manually save your spot.
