So need to find a good app for ipad,

AS Passport Wireless is equipeed with Twonky Media Server, you could give “Twonky Beam” a chance.
Found a thread here in the fourm:

Seems that “Twonky Beam” now is “Mediaplay”

“Twonky Beam” for Android is here (no clue why Japanese language appears here):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pv.twonkybeam
Having Android, you can take a look at MediaHouse too,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dbapp.android.mediahouse

Anyway, Twonky on the Passport Wireless is full dlna-certified Media Server, so all your dlna-capable devices will see your Passport Wireless as dlna media server.

BTW: most ebooks are heavily secured with DRM Digital Rights Management. I don’t think that you can “share” this type of media so easily.

Hi, I am the guy whose thread about MediaPlay and Twonky Beam is referred to at the beginning of this thread. Although I like the two apps I discussed, my “go to” app on the iPad is the WD My Cloud app for video. It is a robust app for watching video on the iPad, and is designed to work well with the MPW and other WD “My Cloud” devices like my newer WD NAS / RAID box. There is an Android version of the app.

My Cloud is not as good for audio on I-Devices, and I prefer MediaPlay today for I-Devices . As for on an Android device like my Kindle, I like Avia app for music and video streaming from my MPW and WD NAS,.
