added to iBooks. You can also send PDFs to iBooks from the Mail app on the
iPad: Tap and hold the PDF file in an email, choose the Open In menu item, and
then select iBooks from the list of compatible apps.
Rearrange or remove titles
Normally, topics and PDFs appear in the order you add them to the library,
with the most recent title appearing at the top-left location. You can move
them around easily: Touch and hold a title, and drag it to a new spot.
To delete titles, do the following:
1.
Tap the Edit button.
2.
Select one or more titles by tapping their covers (which gain blue
checkmarks).
3.
Tap the red Delete button (you'll be asked to confirm this deletion).
Topics are backed up to your computer when you sync to iTunes. If you
want to keep a book on your computer but remove it from the iPad's
library, make sure you sync before deleting it from iBooks.
Organize titles into collections
Collections let you do more than just separate topics and PDFs—you can
create multiple shelves based on whatever organizing criteria you come
up with. For instance, you could separate biographies, science fiction, and
historical romances on their own sets of shelves. To create a new collection,
do the following:
1.
Tap the Collections button, and then tap the New button.
2.
Type a name in the blank field that appears, then tap Done
(
