panerai153 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 $120 for the IPad app..which is pretty much same book in electronic version. I sure hope the Ipad app for "the Submariner Story" is better than the Iphone app for "100 Years of Rolex". When I first got it the app worked Ok, but when I upgraded to the Iphone5, the app started crashing, and would go back to the first page every time I tried to look at the photos. i even tried removing the app and re downloading it,no better! I went to Apple's app store and found that they had a newer HD version out, but at a considerable price. No possibility of and upgrade if you owned the older version, no discount if you wanted to upgrade, full price for everyone.I decided that I really wan't going to take a chance on the HD version, still use the old version, but it's still buggy.i believe that it's pretty rotten on the part of app designers to sell one version and rthen stop supporting that version and skip ahead and then charge everyone full price for the newer version.

dan_189 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 So what I'm hosting is the first 30 pages? An xcode-ers on here that can hack the app into pdf?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 So what I'm hosting is the first 30 pages? An xcode-ers on here that can hack the app into pdf?? Yep, 30 random pages, but still appreciated you uploading Dan. If enough of us say chip in and one of us gets the app, Im sure it will be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatfour Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm willing to buy it, but I'm afraid the App will be locked (like so many other Books I have on my Ipad). I'm not that smart to dissect an App and extract a PDF out of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Is it an app or an ibook? If its an ibook we can share it, if its an app it will take an xcoder to extract it. http://www.joboshare.com/how-to-export-ipad-books-to-mac.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) It's a book according to the apps store, but is referred to an app in the description. https://itunes.apple.com/fi/app/rolex-submariner-story-hd/id605018027?mt=8 It is also listed as in Italian language.

the_rymeister Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm very interested in contributing if we can all get a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbear2008 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think it would be easy to get 20+ contributors. Just need someone to be able to make it a bit more "distribution friendly".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 We need to decide who will purchase it that has the know how to be able to send to others once downloaded, I wouldn't know what to do <br />Then split the costs and send to the buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yep, I'd be in for that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard1979 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Yep happy to contribute! Edited April 3, 2013 by Deckard1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibiunko Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Put me down for the contribution as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I don't mind getting it, and what I would recommend is waiting until I/we have found out if its possible to either share this iTunes book, 100%, and/or decrypt it to a readable PDF book. If, and when we have 100% certain that we will be able to do both/either, then I will be happy to take say €5 Euro from each interested party (20 members), then once we are up to the €100 Euro mark, i will purchase an iTunes gift card for that amount, then purchase the app, and convert to PDF, then upload, and share with contributors only first, then for everyone else. To make it fair, as I say, contributors first, then anyone else wanting a copy, they can pm me, but must have over 200 posts. Sound fair?

SSTEEL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Amended previous post to include 20 members chipping in €5 Euro each for the full app. This is of course when we find out its possible to create a PDF from it. Im actually working on a solution right now with some of my software savvy friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Good news, its in English too. Still working with a few friends in getting it to PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 A friend of mine is trying to find a solution with ifile, but failing this, the only other way to get the entire book to PDF format is for me to manually screenshot each and every page, then compile the pdf. I don't mind doing this if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever123 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 There's a software called Calibre that could probably do the conversion: http://calibre-ebook.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatfour Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Since I'm new and don't get online very often, I would take me 10 yaers to get to 200 posts; Therefore I'm willing to donate 20 € or even more. I have confidence that I will get my copy later.... just give a paypal adress to send the funds to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 lets start a list of 100% contributors add the next number and put your name next to it so we know where we're are.
