I went to open my book (Artemis fowl, the last gaurdian), and it said it cannot open the book, because the requested resource is missing. I deleted it and re downloaded it, but nothing changed.
For the first time in my life, I am extremely unhappy with apple.
What app are you using to read with?
Is the book you downloaded in the .epub format?
Suggestion: get a Droid. I love my LG Spectrum 2. Google holds all of your music, movies, ect. on its website and you can access it from anywhere, it even stores you searches. So when I search something from home I can find it from school. Its really nice. Don't get me wrong, Apple is great; I just prefer Google phones.
There's always the paper book lol
I'd suggest pirating a copy of the book and manually putting it on your device. You already paid money for a copy of the book, so it would be fine to do that in my eyes.

I've always been happy with apple for years except for this one occasion. I hate the layout of all the other devices, apple has more apps, (like imtg) and everyone else's tablets look stupid.
Google is were its at! Apple has more apps, but the Google Play Store is quickly catching up. Lastly, how can you say, "everyone else's tablets look stupid?" I have had an iPad for 5 months now because we use them in AP classes and I hate it. I love my Nexus 7

That's what I'm saying! I would miss the feel of turning a page way too much to get ebooks
Apple has always been quick to refund a few of my purchases that didn't load properly. Give them a call.

If I did go with someone else, it would be google if it makes you feel better.
Yay!!!
Another issue with Apple is that in their terms and agreements, all products apple made still belongs to them. Even after you bought it. They view it as "Renting" the phone

I think that he said this because a few years ago there was a dispute over whether someone could sell their iPhone and Apple tried stopping some people.

I believe it was if it was legal to flash the phone after the purchase. Apple tried to stop people or companies from flashing the phones and lost.
Maybe flash isn't the right term, but whatever it is people do to iphones to get the bootleg stuff not the the apple stores. Cant remember what the hackers call it.
Jailbreak?

Indeed. I think what it boils down to is that Apple is with the people who enforce so called 'intellectual property'. Which in other words is enforcing 'idea ownership', which I believe to be illegal under iMtG Law ;)

I restarted my device and that fixed it, when it happened I figured I should restart but I was to lazy. Gotta love that laziness.
Hahah. Every IT guy in the world... "Did you try tuning it off then back on again?"
