If you love to read, then you will love Apple’s new iPad. The Apple iPad comes with a new app called iBooks. It is free to download and it allows you to browse and shop for books any time you want to. To open the iBooks app, just tap it with your index finger. Once it is open, you will see your bookshelf. On the bookshelf, you will find all of your books. Tap on the one you wish to read and it will open- so you can read it.
If you want to purchase more books, simply tap the store button, which is located in the upper left hand corner, and the bookshelf will turn around. You will then be in the ibookstore. In ibookstore, you are able to browse books by title, author or genre. When you find a book you like, just tap it to get more details and information about the book. Once you buy a book, it automatically appears on your bookshelf for you to read at your convenience.
But wait, it gets even better. When you are ready to read the book, you hold the iPad just like a book, and you start reading. When you finish a page, you turn to the next one just like you would in case it is a “physical” book. Simply place your finger on the bottom of the page and slowly drag from right to left. You can read the book in either landscape or portrait mode. Whatever suits you. You can also change the text size and the font. And if that wasn’t enough, iBooks also work with voiceover which is the screen reader in the iPad. So if you don’t feel like reading, it will read it out to you.
