I have digital book on my iPad. I've now bought a new Amazon Kindle and want to transfer these books onto it. Is it possible to transfer iBooks to a Kindle?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to transfer these digital books. Both Apple and Amazon prefer to lock their customers into their 'environment' via the music, books and videos you download. So Apple-branded iBooks aren't in a format that can be read on a Kindle - they can only be read on an Apple device.

The good news is that most digital books on Amazon are cheaper than in most other ebook stores. Plus, if you're holding onto your iPad, you can download the free Kindle app, which lets you read your Kindle ebooks on your iPad as well as your Kindle device.

Everything is kept in sync, so if you stop at p50 of a book on your Kindle, you can pick up at p50 on your iPad later.
