Q. Is there a way to save PDF files sent as e-mail attachments directly to my iPhone so I can read them without digging around the Mail app? A. Apple’s App Store has a number of programs for PDF-related tasks, including the free Adobe Reader for iOS that allows you to view, download and save PDF files attached to your e-mail messages. If you simply want to copy a PDF file attachment to your phone for later reference and have already installed Apple’s iBooks app for reading electronic books, you do not need to get an additional program. When you have a PDF file you want to save from an open Mail message, press and hold the attachment icon until a gray screen appears. You should see buttons to view the file in Quick Look (a screen preview mode), to open the PDF file in iBooks, or to open it in

The Retina display on the new iPad, available Friday, is absolutely stunning. However, the increase in resolution actually makes some older apps appear all pixelated and gross. You don’t want to show off your brand new iPad and leave your friends with the impression that the screen on your new tablet is any less clear than a shimmering pool of unicorn tears. Here are several iPad apps that have been updated with Retina-ready graphics so everyone within eyesight can witness the pixel-pushing power of your new Apple tablet. Besides the titles that were featured in the iPad introduction event, Apple has setup a new section on the iTunes App Store to highlight Retina-ready titles. I’ve handpicked a few titles from this list and from other updates I’m aware of for you to try out.

by 1 of 5 Atlantic Records has taken an uncommon approach to using Apple's iBooks Author -- touted as a creation platform that will "reinvent the textbook" -- by building an interactive ebook for rock band Shinedown's next album. The 75-page ebook comes out March 27 to coincide with the Amaryllis album release and visually tells the story of the band's new songs, creative process and cover art. Photo courtesy of Atlantic Records The 75-Page iBook 1 Front man Brent Smith says the “For Your Sake: Inside the Making of Shinedown’s Amaryllis” ebook revives the complete album experience, which changed when CD booklets and liner notes became less prevalent.

posted by Joe Rossignol on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 9:32 am. Apple has been busy updating its official lineup of App Store apps, beginning yesterday with the refreshed iLife and iWork suites for iOS. The trend continues today, as Apple has updated their iBooks 2 and iTunes U apps to give them the high-resolution treatment, optimized for use on Apple’s new iPad with Retina display. Both apps have also received a number of performance and stability improvements, while the updated iBooks app now allows you to see page numbers that correspond to the printed edition of select titles, search for a page number to jump to a desired page with a single tap, and use your finger as a highlighter when swiping over text.

There's been a flurry of software activity from the Apple mothership today, and just when we think things are settling down, some new software appears. If you're on an iOS device you'll see a new version of iBooks, now at version 2.1. It's a redesign to support the new iPad Retina Display and adds a feature that lets page numbers correspond to the printed editions. This only works on some titles, but obviously the feature will be spreading to more and publications. You can now search for a page number and jump to it with a single tap and you can use your finger as a highlighter when swiping over text. Find My iPhone changes are mainly to support the iPad Retina Display, and there are the usual bug fixes and stability enhancements.

Posted 01/30/2012 at 9:42am | by J.R. Bookwalter Apple and education have always gone hand in hand, but Cupertino has taken a bold leap with iBooks 2, a full version update offering zero new features for those of us who graduated from school long ago. But for iPad-toting students, the company’s new digital textbook initiative is a revelation. iBooks 2 is the same as it ever was, adding only the ability to read interactive, multitouch textbooks on the iPad, purchased via iBookstore on your tablet or through iTunes on the desktop; iPhone and iPod touch users are sadly left out on this fresh feature. But despite Apple’s hyperbolic marketing, iBooks 2 arrives with a mere nine textbooks from two of the three top publishers. The real revolution is the price: $14.99 compared to $75 for a print textbook. Available titles cover high school basics (algebra, biology, chemistry, and physics), but Apple

At a special event held at the Guggenheim museum earlier today, Apple released several new applications all related to education, school textbooks and bringing students and teachers together through a single device. Introduced by Phil Schiller and Eddy Cue, with demonstrations by the VP of iTunes Jeff Robbin and the VP of Productivity Software Roger Rosner, iBooks 2 was the first new app unveiled. Rather than an entirely new app, it’s actually an update to the existing iBooks application, but it adds a new series of textbooks specially designed to take advantage of the iPad’s abilities. So, instead of pages of text and flat images, students will get interactive features, photos and video, all controlled using multi-touch. Displaying more visual content when read in landscape, then becoming more text based when turned to portrait, readers can still take notes, highlight passages and create study cards for later use. Each textbook is

Today, Apple held their education event in New York, and one of their announcements was iBooks 2, and update on their book store which sets textbooks in the iPad’s sights. The goal was to create portable, durable, interactive, searchable and current textbooks that still include all the great content. Some of the first demos today showed a biology textbook with graphical table of contents, interactive 3D models of cells, along with all of the usual full text. Publishers will have full control over content layout, and even be able to remotely update the text as needed. Textbooks can include quick shortcuts to glossaries and dictionaries, so you can quickly figure out foreign terms. There’s going to be full-text search with auto-completed suggestions for when you’re looking for a particular passage. Textbooks in iBooks 2 will even include little quizzes, to make sure you’ve absorbed the content from the last chapter. You can

Apple held its press event in NYC this morning and unveiled a suite of new and updated apps for education and book publishing. Front and center was iBooks 2, an updated version of the eReader app that’ll support interactive textbooks for all education levels. These textbooks will mix traditional text with interactive multimedia content. These textbooks can be updated on a regular basis and will offer students the opportunity to interact with their material instead of just stare at it. Apple showed how students can pinch to zoom on high-resolution images, and then click on the them to pull up additional information (like the details on the peptidoglycan within a microbial cell wall). There’s also a Notes feature that’ll automatically create study cards from highlighted content within the textbook. iBooks 2 is available now for the iPhone and iPad from the iTunes App Store. Apple will launch these interactive textbooks with the help of McGraw-Hill, Pearson Education, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Most of the early textbooks will be science textbooks for college and high school. The books will be priced reasonably with the high school books starting at

Engadget has posted a hands-on video of the iPad's interactive digital textbooks in the press demo section of Apple's education-focused media event today, and they were impressed: Interacting with the books is a generally intuitive combination of tapping, swiping and pinching. You can pinch from any page to get out to the heading of that chapter, then drag along a bar on the bottom to quickly go from one chapter to the next. When you're looking at any page, you can get a closer view of any of the media there by simply pinching it. Tiny picture of an ant? Give it a nudge and it's full-screen. You can then swipe through galleries, play movies and interact with various other widgets that authors can drop in place. As always with an Apple product announcement, the company has produced a promotional video complete with interviews of Apple executives and regular customers using

Dear Santa, We've been very good reasonably well-behaved bloggers this year. We've brushed our teeth, been polite to our parents, and made sure to walk our dog. So for this year, would you please please please consider our requests? Here's what we're wishing for under the TUAW tree this year. iBooks for Mac and Windows. We love our iPhones and iPads, but we have lots of books we'd like to read on our personal computers as well. That whole iBooks DRM thing means we can't use any of the (admittedly subpar) readers currently on the market like Adobe Digital Editions. So Santa, won't you please ship us iBooks so we can read in as much style at home as on the road? iAuthor. Speaking of iBooks, it's been a bad year for ebook authoring tools. We're never going to see what Push Pop Press was building and apparently Monster Costume's interactive

The latest Apple iPad ad has appeared, and although slightly sappy in places, is a far better effort than their previous hit and miss efforts. The advert implies the iPad will integrate itself in our lives to the extent where it’ll replace everything from a pen-and-paper to the TV. While starting any sentence with ‘we’ll always’ just makes me want to finish it with ‘have Paris’, the ad’s title tells watchers that they’ll carry on doing the same things, but with the iPad. For example, it uses the phrase ‘We’ll always cook dinner and cheer for our favorite team’, and finishes with ‘But how we do all this will never be the same’. It’s a very strong message, and makes the iPad desirable, futuristic and for the first time in ages in an Apple ad, useful too. It’s also great to see ‘real world’ use rather than boring specification talk! There

Neue Hardware-Käufe kollidieren regelmäßig mit dem Aufwand, die alte Technik wieder vor die Tür zu setzen. Manchmal ergibt sich dabei der günstige Umstand, der Verwandtschaft ‘das olle Ei’ (zurück) ins Nest zu legen. Beschwerden sind aber unnötig: Immerhin gehört insbesondere die vergangene iPad-Generation noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen. Oft lässt es sich jedoch nicht vermeiden, eine Ebay-Auktion zu eröffnen. Mit GarageSale (3.99 €; App Store-Link) spart man sich die wirren Untiefen der prominenten Versteigerungs-Webseite. Wer sich trotzdem nicht dazu durchringen kann, eine E-Mail-Kommunikation, anschließende Bankgeschäfte und dann den Postversand zu durchleben, muss den Nicht-Verkauf rechtfertigen – spätestens vor sich selbst. Hier ein paar (Software-)Anwendungsfälle, die das eigene Gewissen beruhigen und aufzeigen, warum man das iPad 1 auch nach dem iPad-2-Kauf noch behalten darf. Das ‘alte’ iPad dient (bei mir) außerdem als unpersonalisierter Gast-Rechner, der den Kaffeetisch ziert. Besucher freut das. Bleibt die Frage: Und was macht ihr mit einem betagten

En la versión de iBooks para iPhone y iPad que Apple lanzó en Febrero, teniamos una nueva opción bastante interesante y que ha pasado totalmente desapercibida. Es la posibilidad de poder abrir libros en formato ePub directamente desde Safari o Mail. Ahora no tendremos que pasar por iTunes para poder tener los libros en la biblioteca de la aplicación. Suponemos que Apple no había incorporado esta posibilidad desde el principio por salvaguardar la propiedad intelectual, aunque es raro ver el giro tan drástico que ha tomado en esta actualización. En cualquier caso, nos alegramos de que nos pongan las cosas más sencillas. Si quereis descargar la aplicación para leer comodamente vuestros libros, pasaros por la AppStore, no os arrepentireis.

Google Books for iOS was introduced late last year and opened the world of Google's 2 million digital books to iOS owners. The application competed with Apple's iBooks and Amazon's Kindle application, but it lacked the polish and finesse of these two applications. This latest version released today kicks it up a notch by adding a landscape mode for e-book reading on your iPad and a find feature that shows specific keyword and phrase matches as you scroll through a book. Several bug fixes and enhancements include a nifty 3D page turning feature on the iPad and an new login feature that lets you easily download e-books using your Google account. The speed and performance of the overall application has been improved as well. The updated version of the application is available for free and can be downloaded now from the App Store.

Most people know that there is a free Kindle app for iOS that will let you read books from Amazon's Kindle store. Apple also offers a free iBooks app. Fewer people have heard of Project Gutenberg, where you can download over 30,000 free books, and fewer still have heard of the Magic Catalog from FreeKindleBooks.org. The "Magic Catalog" isn't where Harry Potter shops -- it's a "book" containing nothing except links to other books. You can use the search feature of your favorite e-book reader to look for books; with a few taps, you can have the new book on your iOS device without ever needing to go through iTunes and without spending a penny. If you already have the iBooks or Kindle apps installed, simply go to Magic Catalog on your iOS device and tap the appropriate link for whichever app you are using (MOBI Edition for Kindle, EPUB Edition

Seems like Apple isn't letting the Library of Congress's declaration that jailbreaking is legal stop it from throwing further obstacles in the way of people trying to open up their iOS hardware. The latest such gimmick is iBooks. Version 1.2.1 of the app, launched last week, refuses to open books on jailbroken phones, as detailed by Social Apples. Comex of the iPhone Dev Team explained how the security measure works on Twitter. It seems that, before loading any DRM-controlled book (i.e., anything you buy from the iBookstore), iBooks tries to run a small program that has deliberately not been correctly signed to work on the iOS device. Normal devices will refuse to run this; iBooks detects that failure and loads as usual. However, jailbroken devices will (by default) run the program fine, which iBooks also detects and refuses to go any further. UPDATE: further investigation suggests that, rather than this being

Apple’s e-book application for iOS, iBooks, was updated yesterday for both the iPhone and iPad. For those that use it and do a lot of reading, this is a ‘cool beans’ moment for sure. The update brings the application to version 1.2.1, and packs quite a few new features, including: It’s a solid update for sure, so if you have iBooks installed, look for the update in the updates tab of the App Store. It’s a freebie (of course). On a personal note, while I don’t do a TON of reading, I always seem to have one or two books on-the-go at all times… And, I have to admit, I’ve found myself using the Amazon Kindle App for iPhone and iPad more than iBooks. Perhaps updates like this one will start to sway my preference. One thing is for sure, as time goes on, we’re going to see more features, more

Apple have released another iPad TV advert, this time entitled ‘iPad is Iconic’. While this may indeed be the case, this latest commercial isn’t as iconic as others, and perhaps doesn’t show the range of the iPad’s apps that others have. Still, the tablet has been around for a while, and seeing as Apple fans are eagerly awaiting the follow-up, this ad is probably aimed at those who don’t care about such things. For those interested in the apps featured, here is a rundown: As you can see, there is a more professional feel to the apps featured, with no games featured at all.

Yesterday, we went over the top 10 free iPhone Apps available on the App Store (the paid apps, too). It was a list of the most downloaded free applications of all time. While it may not always reflect the quality of each App, it does indicate their popularity. That said, there are also plenty of iPad Apps that are getting attention. Here's a List of the most popular: Pandora on the iPad is great for listening to music while you browse, or catch up on your RSS feeds. You simply search for the artist or music you want to listen to and hit play. There's a lot to listen to on Pandora radio, and it's a free App worth taking a look at. Much like Google Mobile for iPhone, Google mobile for iPad gives you a suite of Google applications within a single iPad App. You can search the internet

As we move closer to the 10 billionth app sold on the App Store, Apple has updated its all-time top paid and free iPhone and iPad app lists, showing the top 200,000 or so apps on the store, ranked in order of sales and downloads. There aren't a lot of surprises in here -- if you've been following the App Store pretty closely over the first few years of its life, odds are that you'll know about most of these titles. But it is interesting to see them ranked. On the iPhone, Doodle Jump takes the crown as the most popular paid app of all time, with Tap Tap Revenge 3, Pocket God and Angry Birds filling out the top four. In free apps, Facebook and other free utilities are on top, with Backflip Studios' Paper Toss the only game in the top few entries. The iPad lists are interesting, being

Weder vom iPad noch vom iPhone kann ich behaupten, mit den automatischen Einstellungen der Helligkeitssensoren vollkommen zufrieden zu sein. Je nach Umgebung und Anwendung können (für mich) ein paar Lichtstärken mehr oder weniger den entschiedenen Unterschied ausmachen. Farbenfrohe Spiele dürfen mir in die Augen leuchten, schwarze Schriftzeichen auf weißem (Browser-)Hintergrund dagegen nicht. Der (Programm-)Wechsel in die Systemeinstellungen gehört daher zu einem meiner regelmäßigen Botengänge. Mit iOS 4.2.1 hat zumindest das iPad den Helligkeits-Schieberegler leichter zugänglich in die linke Schnellstarter-Leiste des Multitasking-Switchers platziert. Auch das iPhone hat an dieser Stelle, die über einen Doppel-Klick auf den Home-Button zu erreichen ist, ausgebaut. Zwei Fingerwisch-Bewegungen in dieser unteren Menüzeile befördern eine Lautstärke-Kontrolle zu Tage. Und das ergibt durch die zwei Hardware-Knöpfe, die sich ohnehin an der linken Außenseite vom Mobilfunktelefon befinden, nunmal überhaupt keinen Sinn. Aber die ‘dunklen’ Irrwege vom Thema Bildschirmhelligkeit enden an dieser Stelle nicht. Die Schnittstelle der Helligkeitsregelung ist für Entwickler

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 | Have an iPad and curious which are the best, most must-have reading apps you need to check out? Want to really get the most out of that big 9.7-inch screen? Well read on for TiPb’s top 5 most recommended readings apps for your iPad. Note: Many of the reader apps are free but individual books, issues, etc. are available via in-app purchase. Those prices vary. Amazon’s Kindle eBook reader for iPad isn’t as good looking as Apple’s iBooks but simply has the largest library of titles and the most cross-platform support on the market. If you’re looking for a book chances are you’ll find it for the Kindle app, and if you buy it you’ll be able to read it on iPhone, iPad, Kindle devices, and other smartphones. Better still, if you stop reading it on one device, thanks to WhisperSync you can

There are many people right now who received an iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas this year. Many of them may or may not yet know their way around iOS, the operating system that those iDevices run on. Most essential, to begin with, are the Apps. You’ve all heard the old catchphrase “There’s an App for that.” Well, that’s because there often is. Let’s take a look at some the essential free iPhone Apps (or iPad and iPod Touch). Please note that the App descriptions are as they appear on the App Store: AOL Radio powered by CBS Radio features over 350+ free stations spanning dozens of music genres, including pop, urban, country, indie, jazz, oldies and rock.

posted by Trey Trawick on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 1:31 pm. iBooks has been updated to version 1.2, which features full illustrations, collections (folders), and support for AirPrint. To create a collection, tap “Collections”, “New”, and then move the books or PDFs you want into it. You can then swipe to move between Collections. Naturally, AirPrint doesn’t allow you to print out text from books, just notes and PDF documents. As with other apps, AirPrint only works with compatible printers (unless you have installed a workaround). Apple has also managed to fit more words per page by automatically hyphenating text in iOS 4.2+. • Experience fully illustrated books, from children’s picture books to beautifully designed art books, available for download in the iBookstore. • Organize your books and PDFs into personal Collections.

Posted 12/15/2010 at 12:13pm | by J.R. Bookwalter Apple just pushed out iBooks 1.2, a modest update to their universal e-reader app for iOS which lets you organize your e-books into Collections, print PDF documents and notes directly from the app via AirPrint and more. Here’s a look at what’s new! Amazon may be most synonymous with e-books, but that isn’t stopping Apple from continuing to improve their own iBooks offering. On Wednesday, Cupertino released iBooks 1.2, and as rumored in recent weeks, there are a few handy features in an otherwise modest update, so let’s tackle them one at a time. iBooks now features Collections, which let you group books or PDFs into any category you wish (think of it like iOS 4 Folders, only from within iBooks). iBooks already includes two Collections by default: Books and PDFs, and these Collections can’t be removed or otherwise edited. To move between

Apple schiebt eine überarbeitet Version seiner App-Store-Software ‘iBooks‘ (kostenlos, universal; App Store-Link) in das iTunes-Download-Verzeichnis. Die Fassung 1.2 druckt PDF-Dateien und Notizen an ‘AirPrint‘-Drucker und organisiert Lese-Kollektion in ‘Sammlungen’. Eine neue Blocksatz-Formatierung findet sich in den Systemeinstellungen und die automatische Silbentrennung quetscht mehr Wörter auf eine dargestellte Lese-Seite (Voraussetzung iOS 4.2). (Danke, Fabian + Andreas!) Eine iBooks-Überarbeitung befindet sich seit Ende November in der Gerüchteküche. Die New York Times hat am heutigen Morgen die ‘aufwendiger illustrierten Bücher’, die mit dieser Version außerdem in die Software einziehen, bereits vorweggenommen. Apple said Tuesday that it was set to make a major push into illustrated books on Wednesday, introducing more than 100 titles to its iBookstore, an assortment of children’s books, photography books and cookbooks.

Apple’s free iBooks e-book reader was updated to 1.2 earlier today. I’ve checked out all of the new features, except for the bit about the fully illustrated books (I’ll just take Apple on their word or wait for someone else to try that out). Collections are a very welcome addition, although I’m not sure they’ve been implemented in a particularly elegant manner. They’re basically just lists of books that you can create by editing your master list and moving them to a different screen, much like IMAP folders for e-mail. I was honestly picturing something a lot closer to Folders on the homescreen, but I suppose that would have been a little limiting on space. AirPrint now works for notes that you’ve typed up in iBooks, but I’m not particularly sure how useful this will be. I printed out a page of my notes from one of the free e-books I’d

Apple today updated its application [App Store], adding a number of new features including enhanced support for illustrated books, a new "Collections" feature for organizing books into categories, and AirPrint compatibility for printing PDFs and notes. - Experience fully illustrated books, from children's picture books to beautifully designed art books, available for download in the iBookstore. - Organize your books and PDFs into personal Collections.

Apple has released iBooks 1.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with some swell new features. First, it offers support for full illustrations (you know, just like books). It will also create collections of your books and PDFs, which is quite nice. To create a collection, simply tap the collections button and choose a name. To add a book, tap Edit and then Move. Move between collections by swiping left and right. AirPrint is also supported (as long as you're one of The Chosen with a compatible printer) for printing PDFs and notes in books, and Apple has even managed to fit more words on a page by automatically hyphenating text (that feature is restricted to iOS 4.2). Go and grab it, iBook readers. It's available now.

It's been over six months since the release of the iPad on April 3rd, and the simultaneous launch of iBooks and the iBookstore, which promised to give Amazon's Kindle and Kindle Store a run for its money. I figured that this would be a good time to see just how the iBookstore has progressed. The answer, in a word: poorly ... very poorly. The Kindle store currently advertises that they have over 700,000 books, magazines, and blogs available for download. Apple hasn't released statistics on the number of currently available books, so an accurate comparison isn't easy to make, but it's a safe bet to say that once you eliminate the ability to load .pdf files, the availability of e-books from the iBookstore pales. At launch, it was reported that the iBookstore contained somewhere between 46,000 and 60,000 titles, 30,000 of which came from the Project Gutenberg library of free out-of-copyright

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up

Although we don’t suggest crunching down on a corner of your iPad to check whether Apple’s statement is correct, according to their latest TV advert, the iPad is delicious, playful, productive and a whole lot of other things too. Rather than using a voiceover to describe what the iPad can do, this ad relies on demonstration instead. The image of hands interacting with the iPad is a strong one, and certainly brings the control system to the forefront, while the chosen apps appeal to a broad range of tastes and ages. Here are the apps featured in the ad: These are all great apps certainly, but aside from Safari that’s used to demonstrate Twitter, and Flipboard, new iPad owners are going to have to splash out for the rest of them, which isn’t very clear in the advert and could prove somewhat disappointing to the new buyer. Or does everyone pretty

Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Alex Ahlund, the former CEO and founder of AppVee and AndroidApps, which were acquired by mobile application directory Appolicious. About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches. With over five billion app downloads and a billion dollars at stake, it’s no surprise that

Si arriva alla 1.1.2 con diverse migliorie che che vi andiamo ad elencare di seguito. Passiamo al changelog completo: Il changelog fornito da Apple è lo stesso della versione precedente. Probabilmente a causa della cache di iTunes non è ancora stata aggiornata la lista oppure sono stati inclusi dei fix talmente minori che Apple ha deciso di lasciare invariata la parte delle novità. Nel caso in cui dovessimo trovare qualcosa di nuovo ve lo faremo sapere tramite un aggiornamento di questo articolo.

I’m a relative newcomer to iBooks (Free), but I already like it a lot more than Stanza on my iPhone 3GS. There’s something about the iBooks that just *feels* right, and the quality of the page turning animations always amazes me. I can’t say anything about the PDF and multimedia changes in this update because the books I read are in simple .epub format, but I do believe the app is just a little bit faster and more stable now. There used to be a very strange bug that would literally teleport me through my literature when I accidentally swiped the bottom of the screen (with the controls hidden — I’m not that stupid), but I haven’t encountered any of this madness in v1.1.1. One last note before I wrap this post up without a ribbon: if you had previously tried iBooks on an iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G and

posted by Trey Trawick on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 8:34 am. Apple has updated their iBooks app to version 1.1.1, which includes: • Double-tap an image within a book to view it in greater detail. • Experience books that include audio and video. • Enjoy substantial performance improvements when reading PDFs. • Look-up definitions to English words inside books without a specified language. • Addresses an issue that may have caused some book downloads to not complete. • Includes many stability and performance improvements. These new features will open a huge window for textbook publishers, who will be able to embed supporting audio and video straight into the virtual textbook. Maybe this will be the killer feature that will make eBooks more useful than their paper counterparts. The update supports the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Now that all the commercial e-book distributors have made their iPad apps available, it’s time for an overview of how each app performs, along with their pluses and minuses. One of my primary goals with the iPad was reducing the amount of paper clutter in my house. As a voracious reader, my home library was quickly approaching the need for a Dewey decimal system. While Andy Ihnatko is known for living a year of digital media last year, for a while now I’ve been trying to reach that goal myself. The good news is, the iPad makes it very easy to purchase and consume digital media. I’ve had no eye strain issues with the iPad, having read over 10 books on it since its launch. Neither have I found the weight of the device to be a big issue — however I usually keep it propped on something. Reading outdoors is

By Chad Garrett, Monday, Jun 28, 2010 | With the iPhone 4 now available, many people want to use that gorgeous retina display to begin reading books on the go via iBooks. We have looked at iBooks on the iPhone 3GS and on the iPad. How does iBooks compare on the iPhone 4? The good news is that with the increased speed of the A4 processor in iPhone 4 and the retina display, your reading experience is fast and beautiful with iBooks. Let’s look at the processor impact first. Many of us eagerly updated our iPhone 3G and 3GS devices when the iOS4 updated became available and quickly downloaded iBooks from the App Store. Sadly, the performance on of iBooks on 3G devices was, to say the least, very disappointing. So much so that some of our readers uninstalled it immediately and rendered it useless.

One bit of news from WWDC is that the new version of the OS formerly known as iPhone OS, iOS 4, will be released on June 21st. Along with it will come an iBooks app that will support PDF files. But you don't have to wait until then to get PDF support both on the iPhone/iPod touch and the iPad with an app that looks very much like iBooks. Fast PDF (US $0.99) does the job for PDF reading; it's a Unversal app (meaning that it looks great on both the iPhone and the iPad). This is really nothing revolutionary, since apps like Stanza (also a Universal app) have been doing this for quite a long time, but the virtue of Fast PDF is that it looks remarkably like iBooks and it is very simple to use. Just like Stanza, you can download PDF files from either the Internet (this was

De esa forma, cuando lo tengamos convertido, sólo tendremos que añadirlo arrastrando hasta el reproductor de Apple. Pero ojo, para poder poner la portada que nosotros queramos al libro, hay que deseleccionar la opción de “portada por defecto” a la hora de convertirlo a Epub, de otro modo se quedaría la portada con el icono de calibre, y aunque luego le pongamos nuestra propia ilustración, en iBook se va a ver siempre

Jun 1st 2010 at 8:00AM Our B&N recently closed, citing bad rent re-negotiation. But I think its lack of sales. I have been a Kindle reader since last years release of the Kindle2. I think the local book stores will go the way of the local CD/Record store. If you can't find it at Walmart/Sam's or Best Buy, you will be buying it online. I am usually reading a novel (finish one every other week or so) and listening to a different one in the car while driving around town. I used to have to spend a lot of my time getting, and disposing of paperbacks. Vacationing usually meant arranging for a lot of books, a recent trip to Paris took 2 books each way. The Kindle 2 came out right after that. E-books are going to become the norm, whether you prefer to turn pages or not. That being said,

There you go, Apple has officially launched the iPad in 9 new countries today. Well, the iPad actually didn’t wait on Apple to go around the world, and one in four iPads bought in the US has already flown the country by now. Also, an important amount of pre-orders has already been delivered early throughout the week, so the launch is not really that much of a massive event. Anyway, for our international readers who just got their iPad, here is some help for you. Short after unpacking and starting the device, you’re going to feel like you don’t know what to do with it. This feeling is not going to leave right away as it takes a couple days to get used to this new toy. What you’re going to need are apps, and that’s where the fun starts: I would tell you to start with some free apps, so you

In den heutigen Abendstunden landet die erste Kaufliteratur im deutschen iBookstore. Das sind nach den ‘Um- und Aufbauarbeiten‘ der letzten Tage gute Neuigkeiten, welche die iBooks-Anwendung (kostenlos; App Store-Link) zum heutigen iPad-Start in Deutschland wesentlich aufwertet. (Danke, frankweb!) ‘Halb-internen’ Quellen ließ sich entnehmen, dass auch der Deutsche Pressevertrieb plant, gemeinsam mit der Direct Group einen Online-Kiosk für Bücher und Zeitschriften zu eröffnen. Im Mittelpunkt soll dabei der Vertrieb über eine eigene App Store-Anwendung stehen, die plattformübergreifend und abgekoppelt von Apple agiert. Neben den ‘Zwischenhändlerkosten’ steht für die deutschen Verleger insbesondere der ‘lediglich indirekte’ Kundenkontakt in der Kritik. Diverse Verlagshäuser liebäugeln daher mit einer individuellen App und lehnen den ‘zentralistischen’ Vertrieb über ein Amazon Kindle- oder Apple iBooks-Programm ab. Auch die weltgrößte (Retail-)Buchhandelskette Barnes and Noble, die mit dem Nook einen eigenen eBook-Reader im Markt haben, stellten heute ihre persönliche iPad-Anwendung vor. (Danke, Stefan!) Ebenfalls pünktlich zum Deutschlandstart erschienen neben dem bereits

Have you got a novel or two in your bottom desk drawer? Did you participate in the National Novel Writing Month competition last November? Are you a budding author who needs that last nudge to actually get writing? If any of these describe you, Apple has just given you a way to get your masterpiece into the iBooks store for the iPad, and you can do it yourself. You don't need a publisher, distributor, agent or anything else for that matter. You can decide how much to charge and which countries (that have an iBook store) to sell into. You also get the same deal as the app publishers, meaning that Apple takes 30% and you keep 70% of the revenue. There are some requirements though but help is available.You'll need to have: Who would have thought, just three years ago, that opening the App Store to submissions from just about

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Even though we don’t buy all or even most of our music from the iTunes Store, we give Apple serious credit for what iTunes and the iPod accomplished for the music industry—a unified, simple, and reasonably-priced interface for buying and playing music either on computers or on the go. Now Apple is trying to replicate that model with iBooks on the iPad, a free application that lets users buy and read books from major publishers, building upon Amazon’s previous work with the Kindle family of digital book readers. But unlike Apple’s approach to music, which started with a computer-based downloading and playback solution that extended to numerous portable devices, iBooks enters the world at a disadvantage: for the time being, it works only on the iPad, and the books Apple sells aren’t readable on

Update: Our latest tutorial on how to use Dropbox and Calibre to store and remotely transfer ebooks to your iDevices is now up. You can check it out here. Early adopters of the iPad already know that the device is not only great for surfing the web, playing “HD” games or watching movies on the gorgeous 9.7-inch IPS screen, but also for reading ebooks. Apple’s own e-reader app, iBooks, has been well received and its overall design makes it easy and enjoyable to read books on the iPad. It even allows you to upload non-iBookstore and DRM-free ePub documents/ebooks onto the app via iTunes. Unfortunately, iBooks only accepts the “industry standard” ePub format, meaning those with a collection of ebooks in various formats (LIT, MOBI, PDB, HTML, RTF etc) are out of luck. While Stanza (my personal favorite) and other e-reader apps on the iPhone/iPod Touch do accept other ebook formats, there are currently none with

Da ich keine Ahnung habe, mit welchen Applikationen oder iPad-Funktionsbeschreibungen ich mich als Erstes an dieser Stelle beschäftigen möchte, werfe ich einfach mal einen praktischen Lifehacker-Tipp in die Runde. Wer sich mit dem iPad der Situation ausgesetzt sieht, eigene Literatur am Apple-Gerät konsumieren zu wollen, wandelt mit der Spendensoftware Calibre seine Texte in EPUBs um. Für Belletristik-Werke lässt sich die offizielle Apple-Anwendung iBooks (kostenlos; US-Link) empfehlen. Dort finden sich bereits über 30.000 lizenz- und rechtefreie Bücher des Gutenberg Projekts. Die andere Hälfte besteht aus Kaufliteratur. Die Konvertierungsmöglichkeiten sind vielfältig, bedürfen jedoch einer gewissen Einarbeitungszeit. Wer umfangreiche Schriftstücke sein Eigen nennt, die sich nicht an irgendeiner Stelle im Internet richtig formatiert ergattern lassen, bekommt mit Calibre mindestens die richtigen Werkzeuge für eine Umwandlung in die Hand. Was man damit anstellt, bleibt einem selbst überlassen. Als Konkurrent zu iBooks und dem Apple iBookstore steht die Amazon Kindle-Anwendung (kostenlos, universal, App Store-Link) pünktlich an

Das Wall Street Journal (kostenlos; App Store-Link) lässt sich im iPad-Abo für $3.99 US-Dollar pro Woche oder $17.29 US-Dollar im Monat beziehen. Wer bereits Abonnent ist, kann für $1.99 (pro Woche) und $8.62 (im Monat) die digitale Version (inklusive Reklame!) erwerben. Damit lassen sich die ‘Abonnenten-Kategorie’ wie “Business” oder “Markets” einsehen, und für sieben Tage (Offline) archivieren. Ohne Abo bekommt der Leser ausschließlich die Leitartikel und Marktdaten. Und hier die aktuellen Preise für das derzeitige Print-Angebot: Yep. Die digitale Ausgabe kostet für neue Kunden erheblich mehr, als die subventionierte gedruckte Papier-Ausgabe. Mittlerweile sind auch die offiziellen Apple-Programme im US-App Store zu finden und käuflich zu erwerben. iBooks (kostenlos; US-Link) kommt bereits in verschiedenen Sprachen (Chinesisch, Französisch, Deutsch, Italienisch, etc.), wird jedoch über den iBookstore zuerst englischsprachige Literatur zum Kauf anbieten. Wer eigene EPUB-Bücher (ohne DRM) auf das Gerät synchronisieren möchte, tut dies über iTunes 9.1. Pages ($9.99; US-Link); Numbers ($9.99; US-Link)

Do you already own an iPhone or iPod Touch and are planning on buying an iPad, too? Then you need to know about the new "universal" applications now available in the iTunes App Store. These combo apps for Apple's line of mobile devices are basically "buy one, get one free" deals except for one small difference - both apps are bundled into one download. When you run the universal application on a small-screened device, you'll see the iPhone version and when you run the app on your iPad, you'll see the larger, iPad-only version. And these won't just be blown up, oversized iPhone apps either - they'll be custom designed apps made specifically for the iPad. When searching through the application store, you can identify the universal apps by the small plus sign that appears to the left of the application's price in the search results. Or, if viewing the description

The iBooks app is lovely to look at but clearly doesn't have the features I need for reading books. Without annotating and highlighting features available I can't use this to replace my textbooks. Neither will it replace the paperbacks I get monthly for my Book Reading club. Without an easy-to-use standard linking system for footnotes and endnotes, iBooks won't replace the hardcovers I get of research and academic books. All that's left is a few novels, about 20% of my reading list. Which is why iBooks only merits 2 stars from me.

The fake reviews should be condemned. None of the non-privileged ordinary people have a chance to play with the iPad yet and all of you started praising an app you have never used. This hype is a bit too much.

Let's see, unless you're a bunch of high ranking apple employees or one of the few lucky journalists who got to play with an ipad, you ahven't touched this thing, yet you're writing reviews and giving it 5 stars based on what? The apple demo video and the pretty screenshots above? Ridiculous!
And now I have to rate the app just to write this! :))

iBooks is beautiful as well as a joy to use. Reading books on it is comfortable and easy. I love that I can just tap to go to the next page. Turning pages slowly is always a crowd pleaser and so intuitive.
The included copy of Winnie-the-Pooh is beautifully illustrated, I just can't wait to share it with my daughter as she gets older.
As for the iBookstore, it's deviously easy-to-use. I love the free samples, it makes it just like buying a physical book while in a bookstore.
I've already bought 3 books and it was just as easy as buying a song or an app. I love how I get to use my iTunes gift cards to buy books, woohoo!
iBooks on my iPad is to Kindle what iPod was to the Walkman. I feel like I'm holding the future in my hand.
