iBooks is a pre-installed platform for reading e-books and listening to artistic and modern works on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. For the first time, the reader appeared in the middle of 2010 and since then has become the main, but not the only, source of inspiration for the Apple equipment owners. The main idea of \u200b\u200biBooks is to accelerate and simplify the search for literature, providing access to a synchronized and daily updated library of books, and at the same time - to solve the problem of storage of works in audio format: additional tools will not be needed - listen, read and develop, you can "not depart from the cash register" .

Additional pluses of iBooks:

1. Frequent updates. Apple developers do not change the traditional functionality, but the designer trends are not lagging behind and always offer new and curious decisions, like a dark theme, support for gestures and an intuitive catalog, where it is impossible to lose;
2. Available formats: EPUB, PDF and IBooks (an exclusive extension from Apple, designed to expand the standard features of books and "compress" information without loss of quality). It seems, no surprises, but the result is impressive!
3. Automatic night mode. If there is a desire to deepen in reading late at night, then the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch will help achieve an ideal atmosphere, and at the same time will reduce the eye load. If desired, the setting is removed manually, or automatically, if the light around is enough;
4. Work with text. The idea is standard - notes and quotes. But the incarnation is again ahead of time. Dedicated text sections are allowed to marry different colors, transmit to friends on social networks (supported by Facebook) and to cover additional marks that are automatically synchronized between Apple's technique (about how similar happening is further in the instructions).
