Browse, buy and download books from your favourite authors on Apple Books. Apple Books features more than 2 million biographies, mysteries, comedies, classics, textbooks and so much more.
Streamlined apps
From full-height sidebars to refreshed toolbars, a clean new app design makes sure your content is always front and center.
Refreshed Dock
A sleek design update makes getting to your favorite apps even easier. And a new uniform shape for app icons adds consistency while letting the personality of Mac shine through.
Control Center for Mac
Instantly access the controls you use most — like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — and new controls to play music and enable Dark Mode for your display. Designed just for Mac, the new Control Center lets you add controls and drag favorites to the menu bar to customize it just for you.
Notification Center
A new design combines notifications and widgets in a single view for more information at a glance. Notifications are now grouped by app, and many are interactive — letting you do things like play new podcast episodes or learn more about Calendar invitations. And redesigned widgets come in three different sizes, so you can create the best view for you.
One thing Apple users love is reading with their devices via the Apple Books or iBooks App! With Apple, there is no need to spend extra money on buying a separate e-reader. Instead, Apple offers the Books (formerly the iBooks) app, and it’s already included on your iDevice or Mac.
From the app, users can access the iBookstore, which features millions of books. Just browse through the bookshelves to find one that piques interest. Then, purchase and download the book using the Apple ID account. With the convenience of iCloud, books can be accessed from all other devices a user owns, without even losing the page.

Apple Books and iCloud
iCloud stores not only your music, photos, and contacts but also stores your books. Once you buy a book, every title you’ve purchased shows up in your library on every device that’s signed in with the same Apple ID.
If you want it on your device, just tap to download it.
Once you start reading, you can pick up later on the same page you left off at later in the day on a different device! All using iCloud and your Apple ID.
iBooks is known for creating one of the most pleasant and interactive reading experiences available, offering many features that are not available in hardcover form.
Apple Books Features
Users can highlight and underline text, look up the meaning of a word in the dictionary, search within the contents of the book, or make notes for book discussions.
Plus, the Retina display on newer iPad models makes the text easy to read for all eyes. The crystal clear words can be adjusted in size, brightness, font type, or color. With special nighttime settings, it can even be used in bed at night while curled under the covers.
Apple Books Also Puts PDFs in your library
In addition to keeping all your books in one place, iBooks keeps track of your PDF files, too.
User guides, business proposals, project plans — all can go into your iBooks library for easy access. So when someone emails or AirDrops you a PDF, save or copy it to iBooks.
Then go to your library and tap to open it.
