Books/PDF support

Books/PDF support

In February 2010, Apple announced the release of the iPad, and along with it they were introducing a new app for it called iBooks. The application performs two functions. The first function is as a direct link to the iTunes book store, called eponymously iBooks, which can only be accessed on iOS devices and not on computers (Mac or PC), by using this app. The second was as a storage place for downloaded books (whether free or purchased) from the iBooks store. The format of books from the Apple store (and the only one users could use with iBooks, until PDF functionality was added later) is ePub.

Additional functions were later added in mid-2010 to include annotations and placeholder/bookmarks in any book being read. Also PDFs were able to be added, and were stored under their own tab in a user's iBooks library, with the same functionality. The iBooks app for the other two iDevices (iPhone and iPod Touch) was released when iOS 4 was distributed shortly before the release of the iPhone 4.

One current limitation of books (though not PDFs) is that they can only be read using the app on any iDevice and cannot be read inside iTunes on a user's Mac or PC. PDFs can be read using Preview or any other PDF reader/editor application the user has on their machine.
