iBooks Preview On iPad
I haven’t got much of an ebooks collection – a handful of Kindle titles and quite a few standalone books. I’m looking forward to iBooks and building it up a little, another place I’ll end up helping Apple build up that ginormous cash pile of theirs
- You can move back and forth between pages by tapping the right or left side of the screen, as well as being able to turn a page slowly by dragging from left to right.
- Text size and font can be changed.
- You can touch and hold on any word to look it up in the built-in dictionary or Wikipedia. (like this one quite a bit too)
Order iPad From iPhone
All three capacities offered – 16, 32, and 64 GB models – are selling equally; but the Wi-Fi model is outselling the 3G enabled models 69% to 31%. The number sold per day since Friday dropped off sharply with an estimated 150,000 total pre-orders to date.
Tello, who has been accurately estimating Apple sales for five years, says that he believes they will hit the 1 Million mark in the “second week after it ships,” according to Brainstorm Tech.
In June, 2007, when the first iPhone was released Apple sold 270,000 units in its first 30 hours, according to the company’s own Q3 2007 report. They hit the 1 Million mark 74 days after the first-gen iPhone was released.

iBooks On iPad
iBooks will double as an ebook reader app and bookstore for acquiring ebooks. One of the most notable new bits of detail on iBooks is that it will let you add ePub titles not acquired via its own store as well:
The iBooks app uses the ePub format — the most popular open book format in the world. That makes it easy for publishers to create iBooks versions of your favorite reads. And you can add free ePub titles to iTunes and sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad.
This feature should please a lot of folks who already have big collections of ePub format ebooks – although apparently ePub titles that use carry any DRM other than that of the iBookstore will not be able to be synced over. Some DRM-free ebooks will require a bit of conversion before they’re able to be synced via iTunes. Gear Diary has a good post up with instructions on how to do what’s needed. Check it out HERE
