What are good IPad apps for inputting and following chess books?

I made the mistake of buying several chess books in Kindle format.  While reading the books is fine, I have a hard time following the moves.  I have since learned of programs like Forward Chess which has the chess games built into the book.  I wish I had bought all my books this way.

Can anyone recommend an IOS app that allows you to import PGN files that I will create as I read my Kindle books?  I thought I found a good one called Chess Studio.  However, every time I import a PGN file it doesn’t show it was imported successfully.  I know it’s a good file because I can import it into SCID vs PC on my computer.  The file I am using is one of my games from Chess.com.

The only thing I can think to suggest in this arena is Chessable. You can buy many, many popular books and they have formatted them so that you can play the positions on a live digital board.
That being said, if you have “a hard time following the moves” and require to actually MAKE the move in order to SEE and evaluate the possibilities, this is a normal weakness in all beginners. It’s not something to escape from with software, but something to work very hard on. You will heavily limit yourself if you cannot follow 3 to 5 move lines in your mind without having to move the pieces. This ability is one of THE most crucial tools in calculation during actual games. Cultivate it. You will be glad you did. Very strong players are able to analyze games directly from books without needing a physical or digital board.

I think this is what you are looking for: search for ‘chessify - magic chess tools’ in the app store

Thank you Mornstar7, jimbycat and RussBell.  Your replies are most helpful.  RussBell, are you the same RussBell that put together an article about a recommended order to read positional chess books?  Starting with Play Winning Chess by Seirawan and then moving to Weapons of Chess by Pandolfini?

For iOS, try Chess Studio. It's a full-featured PGN database system. I use it for reading my Kindle chess books and it's amazing!

This is very interesting.  Exactly how do you load Kindle books into Chess Studio?

 Are theses files with azw3 extension ? Is it really OK ?

... a very late interrogation... sorry...

Chess studio pro

Chess Opener pro

 

They import pgn files, of which there are scores available to download. They cost a couple dollars. It’s what ?i use on an iPad Pro.

Thank you for for heads up! Does it work for any extension (pdf, pub, etc.) or only azw3 extension?

@ogouriev As far as I know, it only works with pgn databases. If you have them in (say Kindle protected format) I do not think they can be read directly by Chess Studio *unless* you remove the copy protection from the file.

 

Apologies if I’ve misread the situation.
