What is an iBooks
Apple Books, which used to be called iBooks, is an app that lets you buy and read books on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It lets you find and buy books and audiobooks in the Bookstore, which you can then read and listen to. Apple Books will also automatically organize your library into several collections, and you can add as many of your own as you want.
You can store books, audiobooks, and PDF files in the app, and everything can sync across all of your Apple devices using iCloud. You can also change the size and type of the font and the color of the “paper” of the book to make reading and listening to it more fun.
Here is everything you need to know about using Apple Books on your iPhone and iPad. Because electronic books are flexible, you don’t have to run to the store to get a book with extra-large type or get out your magnifying glass. Instead, you can change the look of the books you read, from the font type and size to the background color of the “paper.”
