 Re: Stay away from iBook Store! Buy books from other ebook stores to get DRM free ebo
I had a problem reading Apple DRM ebooks on other devices and I solved it! Below is How Tos reading iBooks AppStore purchased DRM epub books on other devices:
Step 1. Buy your book through iBooks on iPhone or iPad. It will be Apple specifically locked DRM epub, which is not a standard epub DRM but Apples's specifics, which you cannot break with any so far available DRM cracker.
Step 2. Search and download for free a torrent with the same book with NO DRM - there are almost ANY book you can download on the Web for free either through torrents or somehow else.
Step 3. Convert the downloaded ebook to epub, mobi etc with Calibre or any other free ebook converter and use it!
Note: As long as you paid originally for your ebook - you paid the author and it's not a piracy!
Known issues: you get tempted to stop paying for ebooks at all and move to the dark side... Not known workarounds so far but the self discipline.

PS.
No, I am not an idiot - I have just explained how Apple with their exaggerated, unreasonable DRM over-push forces us to move to piracy.
