<p>Attending UCLA this fall, I’m wanting to carry the least amount of books. I’d love to hear that more professors are allowing for ePub based iBooks. </p>

<p>I’d much rather carry an iPad with many textbooks weighing a pound, or a Kindle weighing a couple of ounces, than carry 20+ pounds worth of textbooks. </p>

<p>Can any UCLA students chime in on this?</p>

<p>Most textbooks have a PDF format, which is compatible with the iBooks app.</p>

<p>However, the method of attaining the PDF format of your textbooks is the “tricky” part…I’m being “vague” about this for a reason.</p>

<p>Otherwise, I have seen legal electronic versions of textbooks accessible via a website with Adobe Flash, which is a no-go on the iPad. My Physics 6 series textbook is an example of this.</p>
