Customer Reviews

Good app, needs features (4 stars)
I'd like this app so much better if it gave you the option to rename items you've opened (like PDF files) so that the first page isn't all you see (and can't read!).

Audio (4 stars)
The app is great, but if for any of these books there were an audio file that could be played at the moment of reading it would be so much better

Pdf's won't open!!!! (1 star)
HELP!!!!

I updated iBooks on my iPad and now my pdf's show up for one second and disappear. Worked great before the upgrade. I need this to work as before. I use it heavily in my work. I did not update on my iPhone and iBooks works as always.

HELP PLEASE. DR. HEARST
