Books App For Your eBooks

Books in Focus

1 Tap the chevron to close the a book and go back to your eBooks library. When you open the book again, it’s on the last page you viewed.

2 This icon gives you access to the book’s contents and also any bookmarks and notes you made whilst reading it.

3 Tap here for a pop-up window that lets you change the font and font size, adjust the brightness, change the page colour, set the text to scroll up and down rather than turn pages like a physical book, and toggle the automatic Night Theme option.

4 Tap here to search for a word, phrase or page number in the book you currently have open.

5 Tap here to place or remove a bookmark. The book stays open at the last page you read when you close the app, so there’s no need to bookmark for this purpose.

6 Tap on the left side of the iPhone’s screen to go back to the previous page in the book you’re currently reading.

7 Tap the middle part of the screen to show or hide the on-screen controls.

8 Tap the right side of the screen to go forward to the next page.

9 This scroll bar lets you scroll through the book. Information shown is the current page you’re on, along with how many pages are in the book and how far you have to go until the end of the chapter. With picture books, this scroll bar gives previews of the pages too.
