Shopping for iBooks

If you want to find the latest best sellers, you could rush to your nearest bookstore and carry around a handful of bulky books that weigh more than your iPad. A better alternative is to download the ebook version of those books directly on your iPad through the iBooks app.

Note

You must download and install the free iBooks app before you can browse the iBookstore. See Chapter 15 for instructions on installing it.

To browse the iBookstore, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap iBooks. The iBooks screen appears with all your currently stored books on a shelf. (If you were reading an ebook, the iBooks screen will show you the last page you read. To view the iBooks main screen, just tap the Library button in the upper-left corner of the screen.)

  2. Tap Store at the upper-left corner of the screen. The iBooks screen flips around to reveal the iBookstore.

  3. Tap Featured at the bottom of the iBookstore screen to see the latest ebooks available, as shown in Figure 16-6.
