How to upload eBooks on the iPhone

Installing iBooks on Your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone

There are several eReader applications available for the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone, but the most popular is iBooks. This is a free application developed by Apple for use on its iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices.

iBooks can read eBooks in .epub format, which flow automatically from page to page on your device’s screen. You can easily increase or decrease the size of the book’s text, and iBooks instantly reformats the pages accordingly.
To download iBooks to your device, go to the Apple App Store and search for “ibooks.” Follow the onscreen instructions to install the free application.
Once you’ve downloaded an eBook, you need to add it to your iTunes library and copy it to your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone.

Open iTunes and select the Books library. Open the folder where you downloaded the eBook and drag the eBook file from that folder to the iTunes Books library. The next time you sync your iPad or iPhone to your computer, the new eBook will be copied to your portable device.

Reading an eBook with iBooks

When you launch iBooks on your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone, you see the Library, a virtual bookshelf that holds all your purchased titles. You can scroll through multiple bookshelves to view all the books you’ve downloaded. Tap a book cover to begin reading.

To turn to the next page, swipe your finger across the current page to the left. To return to the previous page, swipe the page to the right.

To jump to a specific section in the book, tap the Table of Contents button. This displays the Table of Contents page; tap a chapter or section title to jump to that section of the book.

To search for a specific word or phrase, tap the Search (magnifying glass) button. When the Search screen appears, enter the term you are looking for into the Search Book box, then tap the Search button. All instances of the word or phrase are now listed; tap an instance to jump to that point in the book.

To change the size of the onscreen text, tap the Fonts button to display the Fonts panel. Tap the small A to decrease the size of the text; tap the large A to increase the text size.

You can also change the font displayed onscreen. Tap the Fonts button to display the Fonts panel, then tap Fonts. This displays a list of available fonts; tap the one you want to use.

By default, iBooks displays all text against a bright white background. If you’d prefer a more muted sepia background, tap the Fonts button to display the Fonts panel, then tap the On/Off button in the Sepia section.
