This tutorial shows you how to organize your collections and use the hidden search feature.
iBooks now offers the options for some children's books to be read aloud. To choose this option, tap the speaker icon, then choose how you want the pages turned, adjust the volume and start the reading.
This option is only available with books, not with PDF's. When you tap and hold a word in the text, a new menu will appear. Several words or an entire paragraph can be selected by dragging the dots. The arrow allows you to toggle through options. The options available depend on the type of book and what has been selected. If you choose "speak", the word or words selected will be read aloud. Another option will be "define". The word will be defined in a new menu. Highlight, copy, and search are other options.
When you open a PDF in Safari, a menu will appear directly under the bookmarks bar for a few seconds. Select "open in iBooks" and the PDF will open and be saved in the PDF collection of iBooks. If the menu disappears before you can select it, tap under the bookmarks bar and the menu will return.
