Of course, every iOS user knows that the entire operating system has been and will continue to develop in such a way as long as people come to the thought of purchasing digital content. Sometimes you can simply purchase it, sometimes only from Apple branded stores - iTunes and the App Store.

Don’t get it wrong. And now, not all Russian content can be found in these stores. What should you do if you have, for example, your favorite book in electronic format fb2, otherwise the installed program will not allow you to open it for reading?

How to open fb2 books on iOS devices

Most of the problems that you don’t want (or don’t want) to help you change the iOS operating system will soon expand beyond the programs that are distributed through the App Store. The same thing happened with books in formats such as epub and pdf.

Only two formats of publications can be opened by one reader from Apple – iBooks. You can use programs that work with a large number of popular formats, either for a fee or for free. Among them, there are a number of really good options that may be in the arsenal of every reader.

This is probably the most popular e-reader for iOS, which allows you to download and read e-books in fb2, epub and pdf formats on iPad and iPhone, with the addition of a Russian publisher called iBouquiniste. The essence of the program is that at first it copied the modern look and functionality of iBooks, adding support for an expanded set of formats, but now over time it has grown to a complete project with a lot of additional and related functions. y.

iBouquiniste clearly stands out from its competitors not only because it supports the popular, cat-free format of fiction literature fb2, but also because it allows journalists to independently determine where to take and books. There are many ways to upload literature to the reader.

If you already have an electronic book that you are planning to read, then you can download it to the program, using your computer, cable, and iTunes program. To do this, you just need to connect your iOS device to your computer and select it in iTunes.

Under Programs you will find a section called Hidden files and you will see the iBouquiniste program in it. On the right side of the iTunes screen you will see the Documents window, where you can easily drag and drop your books. As a rule, e-books in the fb2 format are small in volume and therefore are of limited use to devices.

If you are planning to download a book, then iBouquiniste offers you the necessary support for OPDS catalogs and the acquisition of files from other programs installed on your iOS device. Since the electronic library, as you know or visit regularly, maintains its OPDS catalog, then by entering your address in the configured iBouquiniste reader, you can import books into the memory of your device via the Internet.

Find out about OPDS support on the website of one of the popular electronic libraries. And to import books into iBouquiniste’s memory from desktop programs, for example, from Safari, you can start downloading books from the site and at the moment when Safari informs you about those that cannot open this file format, you will use the proposition “Open in ..." . Click on this button and select the iBouquiniste reader from the list. The book will be automatically moved to the program library.

Other program capabilities

iBouquiniste is good because it has a great arsenal of powerful tips for both the outside view and the reading itself. You can adjust the font, size and color, background images, text formatting and turn on autolarynx to your taste.

You can automatically read out loud, translate, save bookmarks and notes in the margins. If you use a reader on various gadgets at the same time, you can synchronize your library, reading progress and bookmarks between desktop devices with the help of the powerful Gloomy Convulsion.

Today, many people using smartphones and tablets enjoy reading e-books more quickly, even more efficiently, easily, portablely, and affordably. And to read e-books on the iPhone screen, you need to install a new special reader.

Addendum provided by Apple. There is a wonderful design, as well as a necessary minimum of parameters to ensure comfortable reading: here you can adjust the font size, switch between day and night modes, quick search, bookmarks, paper color. Support for PDF and audiobooks has been implemented.

From the nuances you can see the meagerness of the supported formats: electronic books can be used only in the ePub format (or, fortunately, on sites with electronic libraries there are no problems with them), as well as the lack of synchronization between the two sides. Ink for holding books (this function is only for books, accessories iBooks Store, where practically no Russian works can be found).

LitRes

It is important to know a book lover who would like to know about the greatest book-loving Maidan LitRes. The add-on for the iPhone is not a lot of money for the store and the reader, because, before speech, in practice it is extremely manual, since it includes adjusting the font and size, color of the paper and setting the parameters of the inputs, which, for example, is not possible with the iBooks add-on study.

If LitRes is a store, then the books here cannot be imported from third parties. The program tells you that here you can add books, after which you can immediately move on to reading with the ability to automatically synchronize what you read with your cloud record.

eBoox

A cost-free hand-held e-reader for the iPhone, which seems to support almost all formats of e-books, changing the background, orientation, font and size, and, most importantly, switching between pages with the volume buttons (This one reader, from the looks of it, is endowed with power).

In addition, you can see the presence of instructions that indicate how to download e-books from a browser, iTunes or XMari. Before you finish reading, a bunch of wonderful literary works are already included.

FB2 Reader

Regardless of its name, this program is positioned not so much as a reader, but as a file manager for viewing photos, documents and e-books on your iPhone.

As a tool for reading electronic books, FB2 Reader practically has no complaints: it has a streamlined receiving interface, and the ability to fine-tune, for example, setting the exact color of the background and text, both for the day and for the night. You can also praise it for its “omnipresence”, which allows you to access a wide range of book formats and text documents.

KyBook 2

In the distance there is a reader that has a clear interface, as well as a wide range of settings that can be included in all the books included in the appendix, or even just one.

Among the important figures you can see the synchronization of metadata for books, the ability to turn off the phone’s “buzzing” during the hour of reading, the presence of sounds when the pages are burnt out (these can be turned on), design themes, as well as the implementation of translations.

Wattpad

Perhaps, the best representative of the range of features for electronic reading of books, which is noteworthy because all the books here are expanded without costs, and everyone can become an author and share their manuscripts with the world.

Wattpad is a mobile app for downloading and reading author's stories, articles, fan fiction, and novels. The addition allows you not only to read, but also to exchange thoughts with authors, search for books for recommendations, find like-minded people and new enemies. If you are a book lover, then you will relish this program in a melodious manner.

MyBook

For those who love reading good books a lot, you will benefit from the MyBook program. This is a service for adding books that are subscribed to, which includes reader functions. Then, for a fee of one thousand, you will have access to a library of thousands of books in various genres.

Until the reader itself, there are no common complaints: an acceptable minimalist interface, little adjustment for displaying text, the ability to synchronize metadata of books, as well as statistics on the hour spent on reading, for selecting Iod.

What do we expect from the result? There are clear advantages for reading books, each with its own characteristic features, the appearance of catless libraries, the ability to subscribe to bestsellers, make a single purchase of books, etc. Whatever your readers have achieved, we guarantee that with this help you will read more than a dozen books.

The iPhone, like any modern gadget, can unlock and capture e-books of various formats. Not all hobbyists know how to get a book on their iPhone. To view it you need to use special programs or file managers. However, most licensed programs provide content for a fee, subject to copyright laws. So let’s take a quick look at how you can read your favorite books on your iPhone for maximum benefit.

All programs can be mentally divided into two categories: full-fledged online libraries and readers that extract additional data from text files.

A number of Russian libraries also have Litres, the largest collection of works for mobile devices and personal computers. Currently there are over 800,000 thousand copies of catalosis conduit. Not only text files are available, but also audio versions of the published works.

From global resources, you should see the mobile app in Ebook.com - the largest electronic library in the world. Corrupt people can deny access (intellectually and without cost) to artistic, scientific and specialized literature using foreign languages.

Now let’s take a short look at the reader programs that are available for purchase in the AppStore:

• DjVU-Reader is a classic. The program allows you to open scanned texts from the extended .djvu file. To view also available files with the extended .doc, .rtf and .txt extensions;
• iBooks. Program with an integrated bookstore. Creations can be purchased or stolen from the program by first securing the file. There are a number of adjustments: adjusting brightness and font size, increasing the auto-scroll mode. If this reader does not accept scanned files a la PDF, it will only accept documents in .doc and .txt formats;
• Eboox Reader. The finest catless software of the hybrid type. The program allows you to independently encrypt text files in all formats (up to ZIP archives). The program can also be synchronized with Safari. Thus, new books can be downloaded directly from the browser. Eboox Reader gives readers cost-free access to the largest Russian e-book stores: Litres, FB2Books.org and others. Without a doubt, this is the most cost-free “reader” for iPhone that is available for purchase;
• Total Reader. The best manager for viewing text files. This program will open any text document - override the formats that we are supporting, no sense, since there are more than twenty of them. There are also adjustments: type and size of font, display level, etc. Literature can be purchased from the Internet or purchased on online stores. The add-on has a voice search function;
• PocketBook. A standalone program designed as a single-name distributor of electronic reading devices, which many homeowners rely on to be as easy as possible for reading text from the screen. It is displayed in a monochrome color scheme – a solution familiar from e-books. Literary creations are bought, love is not encouraged. In this case, you can write reviews and deprive them of feedback, taking part in the formulated rating of works.

All programs listed are licensed, their current versions are available in the AppStore.

How to get books through iTunes

Basically, all Apple smartphones have the iBooks program installed - a standard utility for viewing e-books. There is a store here where you can get some literature. One problem is that it is very important to know Russian texts and the library itself is scanty.

Solution: cost-free download literature on your phone via iTunes using a PC. The algorithm is as follows:

1. From your computer, log in to iTunes by entering your Apple ID login and password.
   
2. Open the “Account record” tab and select the “Authorize this computer” item.
   
3. Click on the “Music” tab at the top left corner of the screen and select the “Books” option.
4. Click the “File” button at the top left corner of the work window and select “Add file.”
5. From the catalogue, select a file from the ePub extensions.
   
6. We connect the iPhone to the PC using an additional USB cable and go to the device tab in iTunes.
   
7. Open the “Books” section and click “Synchronize books” at the bottom right corner of the screen.
   
8. We connect the gadget to a personal computer.
9. Go to the iBooks program and go to the “All Books” tab. Recently, the desired texts are displayed there.

The commonality of this program is that it supports books in more than one format. However, by expanding the files to the greatest extent possible, you will ensure the same vividness of images that we expect from e-books. PDF texts can still be read, but they may be subject to errors.

How to get a book on your iPhone via Safari

The acquisition manager of the standard iPhone browser can also be used to acquire e-books in various formats. To replenish your gadget's library this way, you need to follow this procedure:

Yak zavantazhit texts through the crazy monster

Now let’s figure out how to use iCloud to display text files. In order for the device to display all the books included in the “darkness”, you need to select two operations:

Due to Internet connection, all texts that are in the memory of your storage account will be available on the device that is logged in the iBooks program.

To import creations, you can use other sources, for example Yandex or Google. But for this you will need to have a pre-installed third-party reader (description of the product). Apparently, the program can support integration with file saving services.

Sequence of actions (explained using the Total Reader program):

1. We are dragging out the required text in our own terrible way.
   
2. In the add-on on your smartphone, select the item “Grim Services” (the name is different, but the essence is the same).
3. We select the service we need (Google Drive, Yandex or Dropbox) as a means of importing and press on it.
4. An authorization window will appear before the customer. Enter your login and password.

The App Store has such a great selection of programs that it makes your eyes wide open. That's why I've collected for you 10 of the best books, articles, documents and comics that you'll definitely find useful.

Apple Books, no cost

Books operates in ePub and PDF formats.

KyBooks, no cost+

Not all books are in ePub format, so it’s time to convert them specifically. KyBooks will take a closer look at this situation.

This program allows you to read FB2, TXT, HTML, RTF, PDF, iWork and Microsoft Office formats on iPad and iPhone. And the Pro version also opens DJVU, CHM and works with the TOR network (!). Є integration with Google Books, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Yandex Disk.

True, the addition has not been realized since mid-2016, so there is little support for the new iPhone.

TotalReader Pro, $4.99

If you want even more, check out TotalReader Pro. This is really the only thing that allows you to read on iPad and iPhone formats FB2, ePub, MOBI, CHM, FBZ, RTF, TXT, documents DJVU, PDF, XPS, MS Office, iWork, KEY and comics in formats CBR, CBZ, CB7 that CBT. And it’s just a mess of all sorts of geeky tricks and abbreviations, which I’ll never understand.

Unfortunately, the supplement was not released in mid-2017.

The Book Converter, cost-free+

Are you upgrading to iBooks, but do you care about the meager number of formats that you support? Install The Book Converter. This thing transforms any documents in ePub, FB2, MOBI, AZW, PDF, LRF, LIT, PDB and TCR formats. It’s great that it’s not a hassle to download the book yourself; all you have to do is add the download instructions and everything will be automatic.

Reeder 2, no cost

Despite the closure of the Google Reader service, RSS does not lose popularity. This, as before, is the best way to keep up with the latest updates on your favorite blogs and sites. Well, Reeder 2 is probably the best representative of RSS readers for iOS. You work with the services Feedbin, Feedly, Fever, Feed Wrangler, Minimal Reader, Readability, FeedHQ, The Old Reader and others. Its special feature is the user-friendly design and gesture control.

Pocket, no cost+

The program solves the typical problem of a busy person: you found a great article, but there’s no time to read it right now. Pocket allows you to save publications “for later”, at which point the Internet will no longer be needed - all articles are saved offline and automatically accessed from the background via WiFi. In this way, you can read statistics from the web at the elevator shaft on your iPad and iPhone.

Of course, the service has a couple of serious competitors, and the main one is Instapaper. Not worse, not worse, just different. Perhaps your interface suits you better, be sure to try it.

Comic Zeal, $2.99

As an alternative, marvel at iComics. This client can easily separate and connect the pages so that they occupy more of the screen area. Dropbox support deserves a lot.

GoodReader, $2.99

Vіdmіnna rіch for reading PDF on iPad and iPhone. I will be of benefit to everyone who daily sticks with this format for work and learning. You can easily import files from email attachments, process emails, use WebDAV and FTP.

The GoodReader engine allows you to process massive PDF documents with a volume of hundreds of megabytes in a matter of seconds. There is support for annotations: adding comments and geometric shapes, drawing, etc.

Alpina.Business, no cost+

Another program that focuses on business literature. A large library of great works, even text ones, can be listened to in audio versions. Moreover, the reader itself understands where you have entered and synchronizes them. As is the case with MIF, everything purchased is lost in the middle of the program.

Bookmate. Books and audiobooks, no cost+

A universal library on a variety of topics: from classics to school programs. You will find most books from the same types of MIF and Alpine books. Supports offline reading and synchronization with other devices, including Windows Phone, Android and PC/Mac (via browser). The greatest praise goes to the ability to attract your books from FB2 and ePub.

Bookmate also has a wonderful social warehouse: you can always see books that please friends, critics, editors and celebrities. And the system of prepayments is very cool - for 169 rubles per month you get unlimited access to the entire library.

Documents in Readdle, no cost+

A universal combine for working with PDF files, office documents Word, Excel and reading books from ePub and FB2. Documents can process archives and annotations, and is suitable for viewing images, videos, listening to music, and accessing files from the Internet.

I still use the old method, when there was no access via iTunes yet.

Required washes:
On the computer it is necessary to install iTunes, the iPhonefolders program or any other file manager. Your device may be jailbroken and have the iFile program installed (from Cydia)

I like this:
1. You need to download and install the program on your computer.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Connect your iPhone, iPod or iPad to your computer.
4. Go to My computer / iPhone folders / Your device / private / var / mobile / and create a Temp folder (or something else)
Sign in: My computer / iPhone folders / Your device / private / var / mobile / Temp
5. Go to the site with books, register and acquire books in the fb2 format.
6. Download and install on your device a reader for books in fb2 format, for example Shortbook. This program can encrypt files and save them in your root Documents folder. You can download books right away on your computer or instantly through the downloaded Shortbook browser. If you want to download books via your computer, you need to find the folder with the Shortbook program on your device and copy the downloaded books from the site into it.
You can do it this way: go to iFile on the device. In my opinion, iFile is the best file manager for i-devices. First of all, you need to go to your settings and check the boxes for “received files”, “external programs”, “program name”. Then download the book from the website according to the dose: My computer / iPhone folders / Your device / private / var / mobile / Temp

All programs that are installed on the device are located on the route:
My computer / iPhone folders / Your device / private / var / mobile / Applications
In the Applications folder behind the iFile you need to find the folder with the ShortBook program, and in the ShortBook folder there will be a Documents folder in this folder and you need to upload books. Tobto. They need to be transferred from the Temp folder to the Documents folder using the additional iFile program (transfer command).
After opening the Shortbook program, we go to setup - operations - search for new files - start.

The program will scan the Documents folder and find books. That's it! You can read it!
