#READ KINDLE BOOKS IN IBOOKS FREE#

The iBooks app is a pleasing way to read and I like it more than the Kindle App, which is high praise. Putting the iPad in landscape mode gives you a very book-like image with facing pages. If you tap and hold a word on the page, a menu pops up offering to look up the word in the dictionary, bookmark that spot, or search for the highlighted word elsewhere in the book. Left of the Font button is a Brightness icon that shows the brightness slider. There is also a search function to the right of the Font button. Via the Font button at the top you can enlarge or shrink the font size and choose between five different font faces. This is a psychologically pleasing I like to have a feel for where I am in a book.

It shows which page you are on and how many are left in the chapter. The page turn animation is very book-like.Īcross the bottom of the screen is a progress bar and a page count. Once you make a purchase and open the book, it has easy to read text, an intuitive navigation system, and enough customization to make it user friendly. It is true in the App store and the iBook store. If your book or app are not on the preset Apple lists, it is hard to just discover things. Apple needs to work on the interface of their stores. Tap the Store button and the shelf turns around to reveal the iBooks Store, which looks a lot like the App Store. When you open iBooks, it displays your library with images of the book covers on a wooden bookshelf. I haven’t bought any books via iBooks yet because I’m actually in the middle of reading about four different books in other apps, but I plan to.

I read Winnie the Pooh! Not because my kids wanted me to or because I never had, but because it comes free and the iBooks app is so beautiful. But I am surprised at what I am now reading. When I got an iPad, I gave my wife the Kindle. It was so handy to have such a small device to carry around my Bible, a magazine, two or three books and even a notepad. When I got a Kindle last summer, I was in love.
