Just a few moments ago, we told you that Apple has announced iBooks 2 at today’s event held in New York City. The app is now live and it will feature newly designed fullscreen books with interactive animations, diagrams, photos and videos. Will also allow you to use your fingers to highlight text and take notes.
iBooks is an amazing way to download and read books. iBooks includes the iBookstore, where you can download the latest bestselling books or your favorite classics – day or night. Browse your library on a beautiful bookshelf, tap a book to open it, flipthrough pages with a swipe or a tap, and bookmark or add notes to your favorite passages.
