iBooks help

[Nayib]

Okay, I wasn't sure where else to put this.

I bought a book from iBooks. It doesn't seem to work on my iPod 2G and I can't figure out any way to MAKE it work. iBooks currently don't have a way to be read on computers. At least, not that I know of.

I discovered mainly through accident and curiosity that an iBook .epub file can be opened through WinRAR. I'm not sure if this could help anyone help me out, but it'd be nice.

My question is, if anyone knows, is there anything I can do with the contents of the iBook to maybe convert it to .PDF? Maybe I could read my book then.

What sort of files does it contain?

The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy.epub

>Folders - OEBPS, META-INF
>Files - mimetype, iTunesMetadata.plist, iTunesArtwork

Inside OEBPS

>toc.ncx
>page-template.xpgt
>luke_9780812696912_oeb_css_r1.css
>luke_9780812696912_oeb_opf_r1.opf
>along with 17 .JPEGs, 11 .GIFs, and 41 .HTMLs.

Inside META-INF

>container.xml
>encryption.xml
>signatures.xml
>sinf.xml

That's it.

Didn't work. Converted it into a bunch of random symbols.
