With the Verizon iPhone 4, you will have access to an app called iBooks for free. The iBooks app allows you to search through hundreds of thousands of ebooks and download them so you can read them right from your phone. If you get tired of one book you can go onto the app and download another and it’s as simple as that. The book store is available 24 hours a day every day of the week so you don’t have to worry about “making it to the store on time” or anything!

Between prior purchases and poor self-restraint, I now have an e-book library in iBooks several hundred titles strong on my iPad, and it’s growing constantly. Simply sorting by Title, Author, or Genre just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Thankfully, the introduction of user-manageable Collections in iBooks adds some much needed depth to iPad e-book organization.

Collections in iBooks let you create a sort of subfolder in your library wherein you can house related books. In my case, as you can see from the screenshot below, I’ve created collections for book series, general photography resources (the manuals to my cameras are in there, along with e-books about photography I’ve purchased, since you can mix and match e-books and PDFs), gaming information, authors (books by and about) and a lot more besides. It’s all quite easy to do, as you can see from the following instructions.

Managing Your Collections

Step One: Getting Your Books In

If you use iBooks exclusively for your ebook needs, getting your books in is a piece of cake. If, like me, you’ve got a library spread across multiple vendors you’re going to need to break the DRM (which you do at your own risk, and only through means you yourself dig up) on them and then import them to iBooks via iTunes. I also had a problem managing collections with books I already had in the library before the update, so, it’s worth re-syncing all of your books before managing your collections.

Step Two: Creating a Collection

At first, iBooks has two collections: Books and PDFs. Obviously, your ePub books are in Books, and any imported PDFs are in, well, PDFs. To create a new collection, simply press New at the bottom of the Collections window. Give your new Collection a name and you’re good to go.

Step Three: Putting Stuff in the Collection

Press the Edit button on the upper right hand corner of your library. Select the books you want to move to the collection and press Move in the upper left corner of the screen. Choose your destination collection and the items will be moved there. That’s all there is to it.

Limitations

I haven’t run into too many limitations using collections. Most of them I can work around — using the search I can filter by specific authors, titles, etc. The biggest problem is that all your Collection management has to happen within the app; you can’t manage them via iTunes where using the keyboard and mouse is a tad easier. Apple should really think about adding that feature into iTunes, which really needs to do some growing up to become the multifunction hardware and media manager Apple’s positioned it as.

A few months ago, I have a lesson section that showed how a PDF file to see the written iBooks April In short, it requires that your PDF file to show in the EPUB format, you can synchronize and view PDF of iBooks.

With the release of iTunes 1.1 and iBooks 9.2, my guide obsolete. The new version of the iBooks built-in support for PDF files. No need to go through the process of converting PDF files into one file, so file found in the EPUB iBooks. Read PDF files on iBooks 1.1 is very easy. In this post, I will go with the procedures, PDF files iBooks to view and synchronization. Procedures should apply to both the iPhone and IPAD.

1. First, make sure iBooks 1.1 (or higher) installed on your device. You also need to upgrade iTunes v9.2 If you have not done so.

2. Once all applications on the spot. Launch iTunes. “Add …”.’>In the menu bar, click “File” -> “Add …”. library

3. Select the PDF file you would like to import into iTunes and click “Open”.

4. Here it is… The PDF file is automatically imported into iTunes library under the books section.

5. (Optional) In case you want to change the title, author and other detailed information of the PDF document, you can simply right-click on the document and select “Get Info”.

6. (Optional) You can fill in whatever information you want for the PDF document. Once done, click “OK” to save the info.

7. Next, it’s time to sync the PDF document to your iPhone/iPad. In iTunes, select your device.

8. Select the “Books” tab and make sure the “Sync Books” checkbox is checked. iTunes provide two options for book synchronization. Either to sync all books or part of them. Both options should work. But if you select to sync only those selected books, make sure you select the PDF document you have just imported.

9. Next, click the “Apply” button to start the sync. Once the sync process completes, you should be able to find the PDF document via the iBooks app on your device.

This should be easy, right? But in case you hit any problem, feel free to leave us comment.
