Abstract

Not only is your iPhone a wonderful device for playing games, surfing the Web, and listening to music, but with iBooks, its also a powerful e-book reader with a library of more than 30,000 free books at your fingertips as well as thousands more paid books, including many New York Times best sellers. But iBooks doesnt stop there! You can add your PDFs to iBooks so you can carry them with you on the iPhone. This allows you to access all your PDFs from the same library as your books — a great feature for those of you who regularly work with or receive PDF files. In addition to iBooks, Apple has introduced Newsstand in iOS 5. Newstand lets you view and buy all your magazine and newspaper subscriptions in one easy to access location.
