Be well read with iBooks. Download the iBooks app from the App Store. Then fill your iPhone library with books from the iBookstore. Take them to more places than you’d ever take a regular book. And from the moment you pull one out on your iPhone, you’ll be pulled in.

The iBookstore is just the beginning.
Start with the bookshelf. With a tap, it flips around to reveal the iBookstore, where you’ll find hundreds of thousands of books — many of them free. View what’s featured on the iBookstore best-seller list, or browse by title, author or genre. Find a book you like and tap to see more details, peruse reviews, even read a free sample. Just download the book and it appears on your bookshelf, ready to read. And if you have iBooks on iPad, you can download new Multi-Touch books from the iBookstore.
It’s a really great read.
Reading on iPhone is just like reading a book. But once you tap to turn the first page, you’ll see it’s nothing like a book. Read one page at a time, or turn iPhone on its side and view two pages at once. Tap to read everything full screen, with no distractions, or read in white-on-black nighttime mode. Even alter the look of most books by changing their text size and font.
All the highlights. And the notes. And the definitions.
Use your finger as a highlighter when you’re reading on your iPhone. Just swipe over the selected text, and it’s highlighted. Tap a highlighted section and a palette appears. Change colours, switch to underline or add a note instantly. Then switch to the Notes view to see all your notes and highlights instantly organized in one place, making it a cinch to search or go back to the highlighted sections of your book.
Your books and PDFs. All arranged in one place.
Organize your bookshelf however you like. Create collections by genre, for example. And keep PDFs — user guides, business proposals, project plans — on your bookshelf, too. When someone emails you a PDF, or if you find one on the web, you can choose to open it in iBooks. Or sync the PDFs on your Mac or PC to your iPhone in iTunes. Then go to your bookshelf and tap to open one.
