iBooks on Mac. Learn to manage your digital books

Few are the news and statements that Apple makes about its digital book store and its reading app, but iBooks has been improving a lot in the last year and the changes and news have become very important and essential for users.

Then I will tell you everything you need to know to be able to manage your digital books on the Mac, so that they are also found on the other devices linked to the account, such as the iPad and the iPhone. Synchronize it with the cloud and take full advantage of iBooks in your iOS and Mac app.

iBooks for Mac. Get the most out of it

The application is completely native and official, in fact it is exactly the same as the one found on the iPad, iPhone or even iPod Touch, the only difference is that in this case it is adapted to the desktop operating system. When we open the app we find our digital library with all the books that we have saved. Up in the center we see the different sections: Books, Collections, Authors, Categories and List. Your library has never been so easy to organize and organize.

There is a space on the right where we see the typical search engine, from which we can find any book o PDF that we have and that we have not seen through the cover system or the list. You can also adjust a tab that is located below the search engine and that allows you to choose which books appear in the main interface and in what order they appear, in addition, from there you can choose if you want to show the books that you have in iCloud and that you already have. purchased previously or if you prefer to see exclusively those that are in local storage.

On the left, below the three buttons to close the window, minimize and expand, we see the iBooks Store label, from which we can access the store of Apple digital books. Once we enter we see the typical sections (Featured, Hits, categories, etc.) and the most downloaded and famous books on the cover. All of this is similar to the iOS iBooks Store and has no more mystery or complication. Once again it is an intuitive, simple and direct interface, well ordered and with its offers on the cover.

All your iBooks wherever you go

If you are one of those who do not buy all their digital books in iBooks, You may have noticed how annoying it was to have to sync all devices with iTunes to transfer your books to different mobile devices. That happened to be a thing of the past with the arrival of iOS 9.3 and its respective equivalent update on Mac. There Apple introduced by surprise and without warning a feature that I love: the synchronization of our books and files with iCloud.

If you activate synchronization and cloud storage from the app settings, all your books will be uploaded to iCloud and you can access them from any device with iOS where you sign in with your Apple ID. Thanks to this, any file you download will be taken with you wherever you go. A very interesting way to make more use of the cloud platform and a very comfortable and pleasant way to enjoy our books.

I like to manage my files and books from the Mac, I pass them to the app and I automatically have them on my iPad and iPhone. I don't understand how Apple didn't implement iCloud on iBooks before, it's cool. As you can see, managing and organizing your library is very simple on Macs, and with the same effort you will have it organized throughout the apple ecosystem.
