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 iBook Store. See Chapter 19 for instructions on installing it.
To browse the iBook Store, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap iBooks. The iBooks screen appears with all your currently stored books on a shelf, as shown in Figure 22-6. (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.)
Tap Store at the upper-left corner of the screen. The iBooks screen flips around to reveal the iBook Store.
Tap Featured at the bottom of the iBook Store screen to see the latest ebooks available, as shown in Figure 22-7.
