The books have to be in the proper file format for iPad which is topi, if your are downloading books that have topx format those are for the windows version of e-Sword

Topx (Topic notes) is now converted into the refi format with the Apple converter. The same for the old refx format for e-Sword 9 and 10.

The windows versions of e-Sword 11,12 and 13 support the Apple formats (refi,bbli, dcti, lexi,cmti,..)

 

Here is the Apple Convertor:

What surprises me the most about the "Apple Converter" (actually named as "e-Sword PC to Apple Module Converter"), is that none of you who uses Mac computers have written a similar conversion tool to work on your machines. In all sincerity why don't you blokes do something about it instead of depending on us Windows PC blokes having to do the work for you? I do not believe that there is no one among you who does not know how to program. And if by chance there is no one among you who knows how to program – learn!!!

 

Best way I can put it is this... Stop being so lazy!

 

I can't believe I just said that.

Why hasn't Rick Meyers, written a converter that works on Apple? Is he lazy?

Hi Jon,

Well, I guess he could have. And on numerous occasions it came  across my mind that he should. Then came the begging question as to, why should he.

 

The amazing thing is this, when you got really talented guys in this group who are Mac users that are (albeit hobbyist) programmers, there is no reason as to why someone can't just do it.

 

The amount of guys who are both hobbyist and professional programmers who have developed tools to use in conjunction with e-Sword is actually quite astounding. And from what I can gather, they are most (if not all) made for Windows. And seriously if they can give up their time to do this for the e-Sword community, of which we all benefit from their labors.Why don't Mac users do likewise? This requires an answer, and I hope someone can. Moreover, I tend to think Mac users tend to act like spoiled privileged children which demand this, that, and the other thing and not willing to lift a finger to do something for their own part of the e-Sword community.

 

I could be wrong, and I hope I am. But at the moment, they tend to be proving me right at this particular moment.

Interesting.

 

The reason I say Rick should do it is that he made the problem in the first place by changing the format to html, and then he provides an Apple converter that only works on a PC, as if Apple users have a spare PC for some reason.
