Syncing books and PDFs
Use iTunes to sync your books and PDFs between iPhone and your computer, and to buy books
from the iTunes Store. When iPhone is connected to your computer, the Books pane lets you
select which items to sync. You can also add DRM-free ePub books and PDFs to your iTunes library.
Books in PDF and ePub format are available on the web.
Sync an ePub book or PDF to iPhone: In iTunes on your computer, choose File > Add to Library
and select the le. Select the book or PDF in the Books pane in iTunes, and then sync.
To add a book or PDF to iBooks without syncing, email the le to yourself from your computer.
Open the email message on iPhone, then touch and hold the attachment and choose “Open in
iBooks” from the menu that appears.
