Preface


With the hope of a large number of fruit powders around the world, ios4.0 has finally arrived, and many of the following functions are truly eye-catching. Although ibooks is not as eye-catching as multi-task functions, it is also a great boon to our e-book fans, now let me introduce you to the basic use of ibooks.

  

First of all, it should be noted that ibooks is not integrated in ios4.0, so we must download one from iTunes, so the iTunes account is required ~

Main Interface Introduction


When I enter ibooks, I can see that the interface is a beautiful wooden bookcase, which reminds the editor of the small bookcase that accompanied me in high school for the next three years. There are two options on the bookcase: editing and store. In the workshop, we can easily Delete the books that have been synchronized, while in the store, we can easily purchase a variety of free books.

Step for synchronizing text to ibooks


Here I want to explain how to synchronize books to iPhone or iTunes after installing ibooks.


The simplest way is to purchase a store. There are still a lot of free books in the store that can be downloaded at will, but they are all ancient Chinese, and there are not many interesting ones, we recommend that you use iTunes accounts with money and poor hands-on capabilities. The following is a tutorial on how to synchronize text to ibooks on your computer.


First, many people may not find the "books" option in iTunes after installing ibooks. (See Figure 1) at this time, we only need to click "Files" in the upper left corner ", select "add file to folder". Then select the PDF or EPUB file to be synchronized to synchronize the books to the database, and then select the books on the device, then select synchronization ~



(Figure 1)



You can also synchronize multiple files by synchronizing folders. (See figure 2)



(Figure 2)

 

Uploaded text and synchronized to the database (see figure 3)



(Figure 3)

 

In this case, you only need to choose to synchronize all the books or the books you need. (See figure 4)



(Figure 4)

It is worth noting that opening ibooks may be delayed for a period of time. When the top menu bar shows editing and library, it is considered to be completely open. Before opening it, books will not appear in the cupboard, so be patient. Do not think that the books are not synchronized to them, so no matter one or more files.

About Epub


Ibooks only supports two reading formats: PDF and Epub, which are common. Many people may have heard of Epub for the first time. Here I will introduce several common methods to convert Epub format. (Although EPUB is powerful, it is still not widely used, and even a perfect computer reader does not exist)


(I strongly recommend that you directly search for books in Epub format, which is much more convenient. You are advised to convert the format only when no Epub exists .) Http://www.cnepub.com/index/ http://book.douban.com/
These two websites are recommended by the author to download the Epub format, but must be registered. In addition, it is recommended that TXT look for that kind of sub-chapter clear, http://feiku.com/TXT text sub-chapter is better, suitable for converting into Epub format.


 

Add book cover tutorial


The first step of book conversion is to find a suitable cover, so that we can display a better look on our bookcases. Here I will introduce a better Website: http://book.douban.com/search for the book you are looking for on this website, and then right-click the book cover map and choose "Save As image" to save it to the desktop. (See figure 1 and figure 2)



(Figure 1)



(Figure 2)

You can add the downloaded cover to an Epub file without a cover when transferring books.

Right-click a book without a cover and choose show Introduction (see figure 3)



(Figure 3)

On the illustrations tab, you can select the album art you just added to the book. (See figure 4)

The first method to convert the format is relatively simple: http://www.coay.com/index.php this web page can be turned online, advantage is more convenient, but only supports TXT format, and the maximum text limit is 10 m.


The second method is to use the epubbuilder software. The author will introduce the use of this software in detail.

The main interface of the software is neat and neat (see Figure 1)



(Figure 1)

Select New, enter the name, author, category, and description of the Epub book you want to create, and insert the album art of the book (see figure 2)



(Figure 2)

Click "Import TXT" and select the TXT text you want to change the format. Here you can see that this software supports modifying texts in multiple formats. (See figure 3)



(Figure 3)

After loading, remember to select "Start split" in the upper right corner (see figure 4)



(Figure 4)

At this time, we can see that the text has been divided into chapters, which makes it look more comfortable (see figure 5)



(Figure 5)

Select "Save Epub" in the upper-left corner to save it (see figure 6)



(Figure 6)

The next step is simple. Select the output path, that is, the text storage address (see figure 7 and Figure 8)



(Figure 7)



(Figure 8)

Now, the Epub book we want to create is successfully created, because this software is made by the handheld bookstore, you can choose to "publish to the handheld Bookstore" to win a certain amount of coins

To download the Epub created by others.


Conclusion: Speaking of this, I have basically finished talking about the basic usage of ibooks. As an e-book reader, ibooks has done a good job in reading ibooks, but there are still many ways to go, and now the most basic thing is to add ibooks support formats. Please wait for a later version of ibooks with the editor.
