iBooks

iBooks is making waves after the launch of Apple’s OS X 10.9, also known as Mavericks. This app has smoothly transitioned from iOS devices to Mac, and it's one of the most loved applications out there!

Key Features of iBooks

When you think about iBooks, you might say it’s just for reading—and you'd be right! But there’s so much more you can do with this handy app. Besides downloading and reading books, iBooks lets you manage both your ebooks and PDFs. You can organize your whole library neatly, open multiple books at once, highlight passages, attach notes, and even import PDFs and ePub books!

User-Friendly Design

If there's one thing Apple does well, it's paying attention to details. And that’s exactly what makes iBooks feel right at home on your Mac. You can easily bookmark pages, adjust font size and type, switch between three different page colors, search for words or phrases in your books, view definitions—all these little features make a big difference!

Sharing Made Easy

One of the coolest things about iBooks is how easy it is to share quotes or phrases from your ebooks directly to Facebook or Twitter—or even through text or email! It’s a breeze to keep your friends updated on what you're reading.

Synchronization Across Devices

The synchronization system in iBooks is super important. It ensures that all your books and PDFs are synced up across all your Apple devices. Plus, thanks to iCloud integration, you can store and back up all your ebooks so they’re always accessible wherever you go.

A Balanced Reading Experience

While iBooks may not have every feature under the sun—like searching for books via Spotlight—it still offers a solid reading experience for most OS X users. With smooth book rendering and an easy-to-use interface combined with competent organization features and quick syncing capabilities, it stands out as one of the best ebook readers available today.
