Customer Reviews
Great App!
Love iBooks and its simplicity, and it is packed with features. This new update is great for books with pics and love the bookmark, highlight, and note features. I particularly use notes a lot when using the cookbooks for modifying recipes!
Shelf Label
Many of the technical documents I save don't have a cover page, I would love the ability to add a name below the doc on the shelf.
Good app
The only thing that keeps this app from a five stars would be the selection of authors. Please add more!!!
