We finally have a better way to enjoy books. As an e-book reader, your iPad can give you access to novels and textbooks alike, storing hundreds inside, and allowing you to purchase more right from the device.
A single app, the iBooks app, allows you to both read and purchase new books. You can also download and add books from other sources.
