Reading books on your computer is very convenient. It makes it easier to highlight text, look up word meanings, save key information, and even print your notes as PDF files.

In this guide, we'll walk you through some simple ways to do this.
Viewing iBooks on PC is not a difficult thing, as long as you use Coolmuster iOS Assistant. This powerful app allows you to export both purchased and non-purchased iBooks with ePub and PDF format from your iPhone/iPad/iPod to a Windows computer in one click.

If the iBooks on your iPhone were bought through iTunes, you don't need to connect your phone to your computer to get them. You can download them straight to your PC, which makes things a lot easier. Just follow these simple steps:
1: Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. Open iTunes and sign in using the Apple ID you used to buy the iBooks.
2: Click on "Account" at the top menu, then choose "Purchases" to see your purchase history. Switch to the "Books" tab, find the books you want, and download them to your computer.
From the above, you know how to read purchased and non-purchased iBooks on PC. However, most downloaded eBooks from iTunes may be copyright protected with Apple's digital rights management, which makes them hard to be opened or read by the ePub supported readers.

Right-click iBook in iTunes, tap "Get Info", and click "File" to check whether you have DRM protected iBooks.
