Re: [iPad] a pdf in iBooks or Kindle

 

interesting. i guess i have under 5000 books so i dont have the too large of a book library problem. well as far as i can tell, that is what i do to get pdfs into iBooks. if you just wanna read a pdf, you can email it to yourself, i view them in mail just fine. to get it as a bookmark, upload it to your webspace, get the url, paste that into safari, click the plus to add the bookmark page (pdf) to your desktop. there probably are many other ways. i'm just a lazy bastard, i use ibooks. i use a macintosh, so i just drag PDFs over the iTunes icon, and it adds them, or if its something i am making i follow this most awesome tip

If you want to quickly add a document or a Web page to your Books collection in iTunes, all you need to do is to create an alias of iTunes.app and drag it to ~/Library/PDF Services. (You can create the folder if it doesn't already exist.) Now, when you're browsing the Web or viewing documents and you decide that you want to read them later on a portable Apple device, just hit Print, click the PDF button on the bottom left corner of the window and choose iTunes. iTunes will launch and receive the PDF. Next time you sync your device, the document will be synced as well.

Where in iTunes. I don't want to put it in my Books section of the iTunes library... it's too large as it is. How do I get it into the Kindle app or the iBooks app? Or is there a way to just get a pdf on my homepage of the iPad?
