I just bought the FHB 1981-2019 archive on USB and I’m trying to load it onto my iPad. Has anyone found a way to either load the whole thing or put individual PDFs of the issues on an iPad?
Listeners write in about removing masonry chimneys and ask about blocked ridge vents, deal-breakers with fixer-uppers, and flashing ledgers that are spaced from the wall.

The easiest way is to use AirDrop if you're on a Mac computer. Just make sure Bluetooth is on both devices first. Then find the PDF, right click it, choose Share -> AirDrop. Then select your iPad from the list and accept the transfer on your iPad.
If you're on a PC, you will need to use iTunes. Plug in your iPad, wait for the iPad to show up, then drag the click the iPad name under Devices. Select the "Apps" tab above the main iTunes window. Scroll to the bottom of the screen to the "File Sharing" dialogue, which lists apps you can use to transfer files between your iPad and iTunes.
Click on the iBooks app and click the "Add" button that appears at the bottom of the right column.
Choose the files you want to transfer from your computer.
I understand all of that, but I can't find where (or if) the individual PDFs are with the 2019 archive. Any idea of where I could find them? It seems to be one massive file that isn't a PDF.
Sorry, don't have the 2019 archive.
What's the name of the big file?
Get your grandson to do it.
can't run this on the ios device. too bad
