Barnes & Noble recommends using Adobe Digital Editions for transferring books from one app or device to another. This is a free app you can get for most devices and computers, which allows you to transfer Kobo and Nook e-books from one device to another and between these two apps.
Both Kobo and Nook e-books use Adobe for their DRM. So you can download Adobe Digital Editions to your computer, authorize your Nook or Kobo with the app, and then transfer books from one device to another.

Created in iBooks Author and specifically designed for Apple devices, Multi-Touch books (.ibooks) provide numerous possibilities to interact with the reader through photo galleries, videos, interactive diagrams, 3D objects, quizzes, and more. Multi-Touch books are designed to create immersive and memorable experiences with textbooks, cookbooks, history books, and picture books in ways not possible in print texts.
Click on the section for Artwork and then click the button to Add Artwork. A window pops up that displays the files on your computer. Find where you saved your album artwork and double-click the image.
In order for your computer to treat these tracks as audiobooks, you must change the extensions from m4a to m4b. You can do this manually or automatically with a file renamer. If you're going the manual route, open File Explorer in Windows or Finder in macOS and search for the audiobook.
Next, you need to import the album as an audiobook. PC users will need iTunes for this, while those running Catalina should turn to the Books app. Since the files are already on the computer, you will not have to use the physical CDs.
Your audiobook is added to your audiobooks library with the right name, location, and album art all intact. You can now listen to them via your computer and sync them to your mobile device, even your Apple Watch.
Apple Books supports two book types: EPUB (.epub) which can be created with Pages or other third-party tools and Multi-Touch (.ibooks) that can be created using the application iBooks Author. EPUB can be used to create Flowing books and Fixed Layout books.
Multi-Touch books are created using the iBooks Author application, which generates books using the Apple-developed Apple Books Format (.ibooks). Multi-Touch books can contain a wide variety of interactive elements, which makes them particularly well-suited for textbooks, cookbooks, history books, and picture books. Apple Books only accepts Multi-Touch books made with the latest version of iBooks Author.
Landmarks can also be used to define the start page of a Flowing book, which is the first page a reader will see the first time they open a book. Apple Books opens to the first landmark item that contains the epub:type value of "ibooks:reader-start-page". If that value is not specified in the Landmarks navigation structure, Apple Books opens to the first spine item that contains one of the following epub:type landmarks values:
Custom Class Name: If the book is not defined as following the EBPAJ guide, you can define a custom class name for which Apple Books will respect an image's dimensions. The custom class name is defined in the metadata section of the Package Document (.opf) file, and requires the inclusion of the ibooks prefix in the package element. For example:
In a book made using iBooks Author, you can link from an HTML widget to another place in the same book. You can link to a specific location, such as a figure, chapter, section, or page number. Links within the same book in an HTML Widget use a standardized format: ibooks:///# followed by the link type, followed by the content number. For example:
Develop scripts that perform well on both macOS and iOS devices. Interactivity on desktop computers requires input from a mouse while interactivity on iOS devices require touch input.
Design interactive books to work on both iOS devices and macOS. Interactivity on desktop computers use input from a mouse while interactivity on iOS devices use touch input. This means that your script must determine if it should provide a touch or mouse event as required by that platform. You can query if a platform supports mouse or touch by using hasFeature as defined in the EPUB 3 spec ( -contentdocs.html#app-ers-hasFeature). For example, if navigator.epubReadingSystem.hasFeature('touch-events') returns true, then you should provide touch events in your JavaScript.
The Apple Books JavaScript Library (ibooks.js) is a collection of pre-written JavaScript that makes it easier to develop books with JavaScript interactivity for Apple Books. The Apple Books JS Library provides functionality to:
Sometimes, a developer wants to fire a delayed event after the content has loaded. By adding ibooks-deferred-event to an element, ibooks.js will append a CSS class active to the target element after a delay, by default this value in milliseconds is 1000. This delay can be defined on a per element basis by adding a HTML attribute data-deferred-event-delay and setting the desired value in milliseconds.
Any element with a CSS class ibooks-stampable will act as a parent container for stamp-able elements. Stamp-able elements respond to touch gestures; on touch, ibooks.js will append an empty element with the CSS class stamp to the parent container. You can then style the appended element.
ibooks.js relies on a SVG path to define a valid touch area; without a SVG path ibooks.js will not respond to touch events. It is worth noting that SVG patches are especially useful when defining irregular shaped hit areas, such as hills.
Any HTML element can be used to trigger audio by appending the CSS class ibooks-media-audio and defining a value for the HTML attribute data-ibooks-audio-src. Additionally, the audio source playhead can be reset each time the element is touched by defining data-ibooks-audio-reset-on-play. Read aloud can be paused after the media has played or is paused by setting an HTML attribute: "ibooks:pause-readaloud" to "true". See Embedding Read Aloud Controls for more information.
By default, Japanese and Chinese books scroll horizontally, while all other languages scroll vertically. To redefine the scroll direction, the book must include the following metadata in the .opf file: "ibooks:scroll-axis". Possible values are vertical, horizontal, and default. For example: 2ff7e9595c
