Unfortunately, when you do this, you can lose something in the translation, including live links and audio and video files. If you'd like to save a more interactive version of your files and web pages to iBooks, there's an alternative. Create an ePub version of your document."</em></p><p><img height="282" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1317225574.usr105634.jpg" width="386" /></p><p>This is really a handy process to use, if you want to keep links and images in your document. The great thing is they will work just as they would if you were in a browser when you read them via iBooks. Click on a link and Safari will open up. Interactivity is always a bonus no? What are your thoughts, have you tried using this method or do you use another method to get your documents on your iPad?</p>
