An easy way to preview your eBook files on your iPad is by using email. Yup, you got it, email. A lot of authors I’ve worked with don’t know about checking their files through email and I’ve been finding myself sending the same email every week with instructions, so I just decided to do a blog post about it.
Using our little tutorial below you will be able to preview your ebook files on your iPad, iPhone, iTouch for iBooks using your email account.
