tents of this collection from your iPad. If you choose not to remove them, they're
returned to their original collections (Books, PDFs, or any other collection).
• If you want to change the name of a collection, tap its name.
• If you want to move a book or PDF to a collection, go to the bookshelf, tap Edit,
tap each work you want to move, and then tap Move. Select the new collection
for these titles.
A book can reside only in one collection at a time, with the noted exception of the
Purchased Books collection.
Of course, here we are telling you how to move or get rid of a book before you've even had a chance
to read it. How gauche. The next section helps you start reading.
Reading a Book
To start reading a book, tap it. The topic leaps off the shelf, and at the same time, it opens to either
the beginning of the topic or the place where you left off. (And you may have left off on an iPhone,
iPod touch, Mac with OS X Mavericks, or another iPad because through your Apple ID, your virtual
place in a book is transported from device to device as long as both devices have an Internet connec-
tion.)
Even from the very title page, you can appreciate the color and beauty of Apple's app as well as the
navigation tools, as shown in Figure
10-3
.
If you rotate the iPad to the side, the one-page book view becomes a two-page view, though all the
navigational controls remain the same.
On the interactive books, you may have a scrolling view of a book rather than the typical one-page
view.
While you're lounging around reading, and especially if you're lying down, we recom-
mend that you use the Screen Rotation Lock (shown in Chapter
1
) to stop the iPad mini from
inadvertently rotating the display.
