    In answer to Shadypants5 - I'm no expert on Kobo's - but I think they use the epub format. Are your books in that format?

    If not, try downloading Calibre (free) and convert them.

    I have a Nook and use Calibre to manage my ebook library. I download books from Amazon in Kindle format, and then use Calibre to convert to epub and then download to my device.

    Not sure if that helps?

    Yep I have calibre but it says cannot convert as no source found..?
    They are in .ascm format at the mo.

    Sorry - we've reached the limit of my expertise!

    Hopefully someone else will be along soon who can help.

    Thanks .. jbro
    I have done it now. Finally...

    convert this... authorise that... use this program then that program,

    I thought E readers were aimed at computer idiots like myself.

    Buy a book click on it and read it.

    @amberfinn55 - you need to download their app from the app store - to read on your iPad.
    It is free to download
