Your iPad device reads the following formats: ePub and PDF.  Most of the C.O.D. Library's e-book collections are available in PDF format. Your iBooks app will allow you to read PDFs. If you'd like to highlight and make notes on your PDF files, try using an app like GoodReader from the App Store.  

The Library has some books that can be downloaded in ePub format available through the EBSCO E-book platform.  Search this collection and look for "Download (offline)" to check out the book to your iPad.  You will need  to download the free Bluefire Reader app to use books in the ePub format.  

Many public libraries have e-books available for download to your iPad.  Please contact your public library for more information.
