How to Read PDF Files In iBooks On Your iPad 2


Open iTunes on your computer and select 'File' followed by 'Add to Library.' A browser menu will appear that will allow you to select files on your computer.
Click the PDF file that you would like to view and then click 'Choose.'
Click 'Books' on your iTunes library menu. This will bring you to a list of all books that you have downloaded or imported into iTunes, including the one you just selected.
Right-click the book and select 'Get Info.' You will see a new set of options appear in a dialog box.
Set 'Media Kind' to 'Book' in the 'Options' tab of the dialog box. iBooks will require the imported PDF file to be in this format.
Add additional information about the PDF in the 'Info' tab. This is not required by iBooks, but it might make things more organized once it's imported to iBooks. You can add information such as the name of the author, genre and title. Click 'OK' when you are finished.
Click your iPad 2 under 'Devices' on the left pane in iTunes.
Click the 'Books' tab on the top menu.
Click the 'Sync' button in the lower right hand corner of the screen to import your books.
Tap the iBooks icon on your iPad, then tap the 'Collections' button. Tap the 'PDFs' entry on the pop-up menu that appears.
Tap the imported PDF's icon to open the PDF in iBooks on your iPad 2.

How to Mark a Book as Read in iBooks


Open iTunes. Click the 'File' menu and select 'New Smart Playlist.' Alternatively, press 'Alt,' 'Cmd' and 'N' (at the same time) to open the 'New Smart Playlist' dialog box. This begins the process of creating a new playlist that filters its own contents on your behalf and will only contain unread books. Ensure the 'Match the following rule' box is ticked.
Click the 'Artist' drop-down box and scroll down. Select 'Playlist.' The next two drop-down options turn to 'is' and 'Music,' respectively. Click the 'Music' box and scroll down. Select 'Books.' The first rule in your new 'Smart Playlist' is now set. Click the '+' button. This begins creating the second rule.
Click the 'Artist' drop-down box and scroll down. Select 'Plays' this time. The next two drop-down options turn to 'is' and '0.' Leave these alone, as the rules are now set correctly for the playlist to only include unread books. Click 'Okay.' The playlist name is highlighted in the left sidebar. Enter the name 'Unread books' and press 'Return.'

How to Choose the Right Apple iPad


Determine if you need the newest version or last year's model. Apple frequently sells a stripped-down version of the previous generation of iPad at a discount. If you do not need a great deal of storage and do not anticipate keeping your iPad for more than a few years, this is an excellent way to save a few dollars.
Choose how much memory you need. Apple iPads frequently come with different memory capacities, with larger iPads costing more. While more memory is better than less memory, it is possible to have more than you need. Business apps and electronic books usually do not consume a great deal of space and fit well in a 16 or 32 GB iPad. If you will be storing a lot of music or video on your tablet, the 64 GB version becomes more important.
Decide which type of network connectivity you need. The lower-priced iPads come with Wi-Fi capability that achieves fast connection speeds on any available Wi-Fi network. For those users who need to connect to the Internet even when they do not have access to a Wi-Fi network, Apple also makes iPads that connect to the cellular network. These iPads cost more money and require a data service plan to use the cellular feature, which carries a monthly fee. If you need this capability, choose the iPad that provides you with the best balance of cost and quality of service. As of August 2012, cellular-equipped iPads connect to either the AT&T or Verizon networks in the United States.
Choose a color. Apple makes iPads in any color you want -- as long as it is white or black. While black iPads have a sleek, businesslike appearance, some users feel that white iPads show fewer fingerprints and smudges. This is ultimately a matter of personal preference.

How to Lend Books from a Nook


Gather the friend's email address to whom you want to lend the Nook book. When you lend the book to your friend, you will not be able to read it for the 14 days that it is borrowed.
Check for the LendMe icon next to your books to see which ones you can lend. If you have a lendable book that you want to lend to a friend, go to your Nook's library. Select 'View Item,' then Details. Select 'Lend.'
Select the email address that is either already defined in your Nook or create a new contact by typing in your friend's email address.
Add a personal note and select 'Submit' and 'Confirm.' If your friend already has that book on his Nook, the loan will not go through and you can lend your book to someone else. Your friend has seven days to accept or decline the loan of the Nook book. Once a loan offer is sent to a friend, it can't be retracted.
