Don't know, guess iPad doesn't want him to use the competition. He can read books we purchase from B & N, just not buy them directly to the iPad. Like my library app on my Nook, the quality of reading them isn't as good and you can't "turn" the pages like a regular book.
I am confused. So he can use the ipad to read the books from B & N. But he cannot buy them directly from his ipad? Obviously it would be preferable if he could buy them directly from his ipad. But as long as he can read them on his ipad why is that a problem? I find it much easier (and almost always) buy my ebooks on my computer and send them to my kindle vs buying them on my actual kindle.
Do you always buy your B & N books right from your nook?
Also what do you mean "you can't turn the pages like a regular book"?
He can purchase books directly on his iPad, just not from Barnes & Noble. If I also want to read the book he will purchase it from B & N off his computer or I will buy it from my Nook & then we can share it. He prefers not to read through the B & N app on his iPad as the quality isn't as good on his iPad, yet his library app works better than mine does on my Nook. It is all rather frustrating that they aren't equal.
The iPad, and now my new Nook HD have animation (?) that looks as if your are turning the pages like one does with a regular book. My old Nook, and when I read through my library app, or Keith reads through his B & N app, has a flat page turner. The animated turner also turns more easily & feels more natural to use.
