Kindle reader is a device and iBooks is an app for iPhone. We cannot compare these both with each other.

I am not sure how iBooks can compare to real books. But sounds like an useful application for reading PDF docs on iPad and iPhone. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I agree totally hat iBook is the coolest apps that could complement most docs. However, I faced one major issue. With reference to your first picture , it's stated " open in iBook " but on my iPhone , it is displayed as " open in PDF reader lite ". To complicate the matter, PDF reader lite do not even recognize PDF files downloaded directly from safari as it is unable to unzip the zip PDF doc. I would like to consult on how can I make iBook my default reader when I download files.

Can you explain how to add pdf files to iBooks which are there on my desktop? I am using iBooks app on my iPad and i am not understanding how to read pdf files that are there on my desktop. A video showing how to open and read pdf files using iBooks app must be added to this post.

Is there an app where you can read the book and then if you are in the car, can listen to it?
