Second, you need to install the Dropbox application on your iPad. You can customize your sub-folders as you see fit. The last one isn’t as dry as it seems, we copy game manuals over to use during play. We further subdivided our books folder into /Books/, /Comics/, and /Manuals/.

While you don’t have to install the desktop app, it really defeats the whole push behind this effortless syncing tutorial, so we highly suggest it. They provide a great getting started tutorial that will walk you through setting up your account and installing the desktop application. If you don’t have one already, head over to and sign up for one. Getting Started with the Basic Setupīefore we proceed you’ll need to have a few things in order.

You can substitute your own reader applications in depending on the formats you want to read. If, for example, you have no MOBI formatted ebooks, you can skip downloading the Kindle app as Stanza will handle ePub, PDF, and Comic book container formats (like CBZ) just fine. The free applications you require are dependent on the kind of ebooks you read.
