Reading on your Apple Devices

By Josh Rolland


Just like any other Apple device , the iPad has become a major hit on the market. Now, you are able to buy books for iPad using the application known as iBooks. The iBooks application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, and then you will be ready to buy books for iPad and upload them to your gadget. Hence now you are able to take your iBooks with you wherever you go, just as you would your usual books.

You can read and buy books for iPad by beginning with the bookshelf. By simply tapping the application icon, you will be in a position to skip through and find more than 200,000 books, with quite a number of them being free. You can opt to view the available books by category, author, title, NY Times top sellers, and those which are being featured on the iPad Book Store. After you've found a book that you are interested, you only need to tap to see further details, read a free trial or read book reviewed. The book will appear on your bookshelf once you have downloaded it.

There is a good selection of options that you can choose from when you decide to buy books for iPad. These include fully illustrated art books, cookery books and children?s books. You actually have the selection of flipping through more boosted books where you can watch an extra video or hear an author read a passage from your fave book. Purchase audio books and hear a storyteller read the entire book.

Reading a book on your iPad is like reading a regular book. Just hold your iPad the same way you would a regular book, and skip the pages too. When you buy books for iPad, one of the best features is that you have the ability to change the font and the text size of the book that you purchased. You can even go to a specific chapter, directly from the page for table of contents. If you see a word you're unfamiliar with, just touch and hold down the word and a search will be performed in Wikipedia or the built in dictionary; you can also implement a search within the actual book.

Another feature that you can experience when you purchase books for iPad is that the page navigator has the ability to tell you precisely where you are in the story that you were reading. There is also a bookmark feature which you need to use to add notes and highlight pieces of text.
