eBooks to .pdf?

[rotuts]

well this might not be the correct place to ask this but:

there is 1)Great Knowledge here and you 'flip' the pages fast on you eBook it becomes Very Old Fashioned video



so if I have an eBook I own, is there a way to convert it to a .pdf to view on my computer?

Reaaaalllllly Realllly fast, like a video?

I doubt it, unless you can convert it to a text format. An E-Book probably is encrypted if it uses a special player.

Are you using a stand alone E-Book player or your Mac to view it? If you can extract it as text, you can probably use that to convert to .pdf. OS X should have a .pdf converter built in. (Though it may be a bit slow for a large conversion.) Check the output options for your text/word processor. There are also some freeware converters that will work with a Mac.

Try Calibre - http://calibre-ebook.com/download

second on Calibre, friend rotus. Just be careful to make sure that when converting, if your e-book has photos, not
to strip them out.
Another alternative is to use the Stanza reader on your mac, and simply "Print to PDF" using the built in PDF printer in OS X.

Pages'09 now supports exporting to ".epub". Apple has posted a document on how to do this properly. If you can't find it online, PM me and I'll post it for you.

We all do that from time to time.
