Re: [apple-iphone] iCloud without Lion

When you plug in your iDevices to your computer and open iTunes, do you go to the books area of iTunes and check sync all books? Do you get the message that it's going to delete your books at that time?

I'm not sure how much of iOS 5 is useable with Snow Leopard since I upgraded to Lion before upgrading to iOS 5. Sorry :-(

I want to update the 3GS and iPad 2 to iOS 5 and use iCloud to sync Mail, Notes, Calendar, Books and a few non-Apple apps between the iPhone and iPad. Is this possible without upgrading to Lion or am I asking for trouble? Is it better to forget about iCloud until I've done the Lion upgrade?

But the horror stories I've read about updating make me hesitant to try. I'm not a novice, but not a pro either. For example, I still am not sure how to get my book purchases from the i devices to the computer through iTunes. The "all your books will be wiped" warning notice when setting up sync has scared me off from trying.
