So my friend now has the latest iPad, 32gb, and has a bunch of books she bought for Kindle. She has the Kindle App but wants to read the books through her iBooks as the format & functions are superior. How can she do this? We are not tech-savvy so anything having to so with stripping the DRM needs to be carefully explained.
