Method 2: Transfer PDF to iPhone directly through Apps

As it's known to all the Apple fans, Apple released iOS 4.0 in late June, 2010. Almost meanwhile, Apple iBooks updated to 1.1 and iBooks 1.1 supports iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 4.0. As iBooks 1.1 supports both PDF and EPUB, eBook lovers can transfer their PDF to iPhone and iPod Touch to read with iBooks now. But at the beginning, updating your iPhone or iPod Touch to iOS 4.0 is needed. Then follow the steps below and it's easy to transfer PDF to iPhone and iPod Touch with iTunes.

1.Open iTunes and add your eBooks (.pdf, .epub) in iTunes Books Library Launch iTunes and then choose File> Add File to Library� or File > Add Folder to Library� to add local eBooks or folder (must containing PDF or ePub eBooks) to iTunes Book Library.

2.Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your PC or Mac Use USB cable to connect iPhone or iPod Touch to your PC or Mac. And in iTunes, you can see your device is in the source list under Devices.

3.Sync eBooks to your iPhone or iPod Touch Click on the device in the source list under Devices. Then click the Books tab at the top of the window. Here you can choose whether to sync all books or selected books. After choosing the eBooks, click Sync button, you can successfully sync your eBooks to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Then you can read your favorite eBooks on your iPhone and iPod Touch with free iBooks app.

Some suggestions: Though iBooks supports PDF format now, but considering the small screen of iPhone and iPod Touch, it is not very convenient to read PDF eBooks on the devices, because you have to drag the scroll bar from left to right each time to read a line of text in a single page from one PDF eBook. So here comes the EPUB. EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the particular display device. That means, EPUB eBooks can adjust the screen size of your devices automatically, so you don't need to drag for reading your eBooks anymore! If you already have some PDF eBooks on your computer, converting PDF to EPUB on Mac or converting PDF to EPUB on PC, and then transfer the converted PDF eBooks to your iPhone or iPod Touch for reading will be a good choice! It could be easily imagined that the reading experience would be highly improved!
