Reading Books with iBooks

The iBooks app enables you to download and read thousands of books on your iPod touch. You can carry a library of books with you and enjoy the benefits of e-reading wherever you are. You can also download and read portions of books (samples) and then, if you decide that you want to read the rest of the story, you can easily upgrade to the full book.

Finding Books to Read

When you launch iBooks, you see the Bookshelf where your books are stored. You can browse and search your bookshelf and, when you find a title of interest, you can take it off the digital shelf and start reading. You can browse books by their covers (steps 2 and 3) or use a configurable list (steps 4 through 6). You can also search for specific books (step 7). After you’ve found a book, reading it starts with a simple tap.
