Another novelty that our new future already offers us OS X Mavericks is the inclusion in the system of one of the applications that until now were exclusive to iOS devices. Apple has finally made the leap by improving full integration across all devices, including the Mac with the new iBooks.
Finally you can read and buy books from your Mac without problems and with full integration with iCloud to have all our books on all our devices.
Reading books on this new iBooks is so intuitive as it is on an iOS device. It gives us the possibility of read the book full screen, search through the book, change the text size and font or switch to night mode. Also, and very important for students, the new iBook lets you keep more than one book open, add notes for the teacher, highlight annotationsAll these extras being fully synchronized through iCloud automatically to your iOS devices.
The Mac increasingly, with the MacBook Air, for example, is also becoming a place where we can read our books where we can take advantage of them more than on our iPad even though we have less portability. The best without a doubt is the integration with iCloud that allows us to have our books on any device. iBooks does not really present any great news, but comes to our Macs to facilitate the task of buying and reading from any device on the block.

However, I just installed Mavericks and there is no trace of iBooks anywhere, not in the Mac App Store or anything ...
