Re-do the Books App to make it feel like I actually own the books I paid for.

I don’t want notifications for the new releases. I want a better organization of my books and PDFs. I set my library to be first shown upon start up. It keeps getting removed and taking me to the Apple Store. I hardly ever want to buy anything . I just want to read without interruptions.

Best book app ever

I like this book app because if you don’t buy a book, you can still read the book but like a little x-ray of it that’s what I like

Access

Apple Inc wants to control everything. Why is iBooks not available online to access and read anywhere all that I have saved?

Ranger

Love it.

Great app

I used to hate reading, but now it’s not so bad with audiobooks. It’s a nice feature to have

Horrible

So dumb my mom will kill me if she sees my secret

Page turn

I love this app for all of my E - books but i wish they would add a page turning sound effect with a slight haptic to mimic an actual page.

Love the idea and hope

Sample size

Awesome

Great app!!!!!!

Please bring back the in app rotation lock

This is my primary ebook app but I don’t understand why you removed the in app screen orientation lock? I hate having to turn it on and off from the control panel

No More Percentage!!

Apple!! Please bring back the percentage of book read! I now have to manually calculate how far I am in my books. I’ve always used Apple Books and recommended it over Kindle, but now I may have to switch!

It just works

I mostly use it to view/read PDFs on iOS and Mac. It allows highlighting of study materials and the highlights remain with the file. Never had any problems with it.

This is goat

Five stars all the way!

Helping me a lots

Upgrade

Make it new

BAD

this is very bad because all you do in it (when your reading) is do a sample and you only get to page 22 (in dog man novels) so this app is completely useless for reading and I expect you to fix this

Burden Of Freedom by Dr Myle

What an incredible, life-changing read.

Readings

Love this app

Love it!!

The books are awesome. I love the classic books they have.

Subpar platform for reading

While I appreciate that it’s very easy to read random epub or pdf files from Apple’s Books app — this is the only eReader platform I have seen that doesn’t offer a font for people with dyslexia. Since I’ve switched to that font in BookFunnel, Kobo & Kindle, reading on my iPad has significantly gotten easier & doesn’t cause me to get excessively tired any longer. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find anything comparable in Apple’s Books app (unless it’s hidden somewhere other than where all of the other fonts for the app are located). Which is super disappointing! Great way to be inclusive Apple 😐
