Transferring book collection to iPhone/iPad using a file
So, you decided to transfer your book collection from All My Books for Windows® to mobile All My Books on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch using the local file. This way is for those who hasn't quick (or cheap!) Internet connection both on desktop and mobile device.
You will need the following:
- All My Books software version 3.3 or up installed. You can check the version number using menu item "Help-About" in the program.
- All My Books for iPhone installed
- iTunes version 10.0 or up installed
- USB-cable, connecting your device with the computer
Is everything in place? Let's go! The transfer process will be performed in two stages:

Step-by-step instruction:
