DeleteorRearrangeiBooks BIBLIOPHILES KNOW HOW EASY it is to amass piles of books and magazines. (Turn the page for more on magazines.) Magazines are usually emotionally eas- ier to toss out, since they don't have the feeling of permanence that a book does. (On the iPad, you typically delete old issues from within the magazine or Newsstand app; see page 168.) But with books--well, some books you want to keep forever, while others, not so much. So let's get some iPad drive space back. If a book has to go--or go someplace different--here are some ways to accom- plish that: On the Bookshelf screen, tap Edit in the top-right corner. Tap the books you want to remove, tap the red Delete button, and then confirm the cuts. Another way to delete books involves iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer, click the Books tab, turn off the checkbox next to the unwanted titles, and then click Apply or Sync. iTunes removes the books from the iPad but keeps a copy of each for future reference. Need to delete several books at once? The List View screen on the iPad is great for library management. To get to the List View, tap its icon (H), tap Bookshelf, and then tap the Edit button. Tap the button next to each book you want to toss, and then tap the Delete button at the top of the screen. Now that you've pruned your liter- ary holdings, you can do further tidying in List View. For example, use the grip strip () to drag exist- ing titles into a new order. You can also organize your books into collections--say, all your British murder mysteries in one place. Select relevant books and tap the Move button at the top of the screen. A box pops up that lets you create a new grouping from the selected titles. Later, you get to the collection by tapping the Collections button at the top of the Library screen. TIP If you have a huge multiscreen list of books, the Search box at the top of the List View screen lets you find titles and author names across your iLibrary. read iBooKS and eperiodiCalS 167
