iBooks App
The PDF reader works, but it’s not quite up to snuff with third-party apps on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, and Apple’s current lack of PDF support in the iBookstore means that you’ll have to go fishing for content online—the addition of a podcast-like section of the iBookstore for PDF downloads would be hugely welcome. Similarly, adding additional note-taking capabilities to iBooks beyond the scope of the current keyboard input scheme would make this application the default choice for educators looking to go fully electronic with their textbooks. Given how much iBooks has evolved since April, there’s a good chance that it will continue to improve at a rapid clip over the next year, and we’ll be excited to revisit this application with a follow-up review as it grows.
