Make it easier to read your e-books
A traditional e-reader is a device that’s used primarily to read the electronic version of books, magazines, and newspapers. Apple’s free app that turns your iPhone into an e-reader is Apple Books (formerly known as iBooks), which also enables you to buy and download books (and audiobooks) from the Apple Books Store (offering more than 2.5 million books and growing). You can also use one of several other free e-reader apps — for example, Kindle or Nook. Then you can download books to your iPhone from a variety of online sources, such as Amazon and Google, so that you can read to your heart’s content.
In this chapter, you discover the options available for reading material and how to buy books. You also learn how to navigate a book or periodical and adjust the brightness and type, as well as how to search books and organize your Apple Books libraries.
