iPad ebooks are electronic books dedicated to be read on Apple's newest computer tablet, iPad. iPad reader ranks among competitions which include Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Reader Touch and BeBook Neo.
For people who buy iPad with the idea of reading ebooks with it, the iPad does not disappoint. The device is easy to hold, as well as being not heavier than the average hardcover. The iPad ebooks reader is also pleasant on the eye, it gives you the visual of books with shadows at the spine of books and dimension visual at the edges of the screen to give the illusion of looking at a real book, instead of reading a Word document. The font is clear and the images are in colors - making it children book friendly, as well as being accommodating to graphic novels, comic and other books coming with illustrative support.
If you don't fancy the font of the text you see, the iPad can change it. Same goes with the size of the font you are looking at. This is especially helpful to those whose eyesight are no longer at its best. The options for font type (5), size (10) and brightness are on the top right. You need to give the display a tap. This will also open the search box. As you read one of your iPad ebooks, buttons for library and table of contents can be found in the upper left. In the event you click to view the table of contents, a red 'Resume' flag appears on the right to give you a quick way to go back where you are reading.
At the bottom of the screen are the page number, the total number of pages shown, as well as a slider bar which you can use to quickly browse the parts of the book. Turning the page is as simple as sliding your finger over the screen from left to right or vice versa. Highlighting (tap, hold and slide on the words) give you the options to translate, bookmark or search. Another highlight from the iPad reader is its backlight which makes for a comfortable reading at night or in relative darkness.
There is no need to worry about difficulties in accessing ebooks for your iPad. Both Apple and Amazon sell iPad ebooks. Companies which publish iPad ebooks include HarperCollins, Penguin, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette. Prices range from $9.99 to $12.99. Apple and Amazon also give access to free ebooks on public domain, a bit like electronic library. Using the iPad, you can also access free ebooks from OpenCulture.com, Stanza and Eucalyptus.
However, no bookstore application come preloaded on your iPad. Even the iBookstore needs to be downloaded from App store. The application is free but still, having to download it first may prove a nuisance to some people. Before you go on an iPad ebooks shopping rampage however, make sure that you truly enjoy reading using the iPad. The iBookstore ties its ebooks to the application and once you have purchased and downloaded your ebooks, you can only read them on the iPad. Unlike your Amazon Kindle files which can be transferred to other devices.
