Hello, in this tutorial we are going to cover the iBooks app.
The iBooks App is an orange icon with the book on it. Tap on that to
begin. In the top left corner you'll see the word "library"
or you may see the word "store". We are already in our store so we are going to tap on the word
"library" just to show you that
this will take you to your bookshelf. This is the place where all your books
have been stored that you have purchased.
In the top left corner tap "store" again to go back to the iBook store.
Now you can search for books by all categories in the top.
Fiction, non-fiction,
mysteries
or you can tap "more" for a selection of more genres.
At the bottom you can search by
featured books on iTunes, New York Times bestsellers,
top charts, top
authors and you can look at the books that you have already purchased.
We're going to go to the top right corner and we're going to search for a specific book.
I'm going to look for Emily Dickinson Poems.
I'm going to tap on Emily Dickinson
and now you can see in the top left corner
you can purchase a book of poems
for free. If you browse through you can also purchase a book that would
cost money. We're going to select the free one
as an example. I'm going to tap on the word "free". I'm going to tap on the word
"get book" and now you can see it's downloading.
It may prompt you to enter your
iTunes password. If it does, go ahead and enter your password and then tap OK
and then it will download the book for you. Now if we go
in the top left corner to library, now you can see my Emily Dickinson book
is in the left corner. If you would like to delete a book from your library go to
the top right corner and tap on "edit".
Now select a book by tapping on it
that you would like to delete out of your library and then you would tap
"delete" and it will prompt you to delete the book. And I'm going to tap "delete"
and that will remove it from my bookshelf. If you would like to
organize your books by collections, you would tap "edit"
in the top right corner. Select the books you would like to put into a collection
and you can tap
"move" in the top left corner and we're gonna add new collection
and we're going to call this classic
books and we're just going to tap
on "done" in this menu and tap on the word
classic books and that will enter your books into
that collection so they're more organized. You can see some
lines in the top right corner next to the word edit and here's another way you can organize
your books
by bookshelf, titles, authors
or categories. To go back to your
bookshelf in the top right corner next to the word "edit" are some boxes
tap on that and it takes you back to the visual bookshelf.
And this concludes our iBooks tutorial.
