Apple has released details of the iBooks app for the iPad. 

  • Landscape mode will show two pages at a time.
  • Touch and hold on a word to choose from: look up in the dictionary or Wikipedia, or to search for the word in the book or on the Web.
  • VoiceOver – read aloud feature.
  • Compatibility with non-DRM ePub ebooks from other sources.
  • Book genres are separated into 20 main categories, with more than 150 subcategories.

The iBooks app will not come preinstalled on the iPad, but is a free download.

For a company whose CEO claims that no one reads anymore, Apple seems to be taking reading pretty seriously on the iPad.
