Tap the Get Sample button to download a sample (usually the first
chapter or a sizable excerpt). It appears in your library with a Sample
banner on the cover ( Figure 7.20 ). If you like the topic, tap the Buy
button that appears at the top of the screen or at the end of the
sample.

Tap the Categories button at the top of the iBookstore screen to locate
books in various genres. You can also browse the New York Times best-
seller list by tapping the NYTimes button in the toolbar, or view Oprah's Book
Club titles using a link found when you scroll to the end of the page.
You don't have to shell out money to get a taste of iBooks titles. Tap
the Browse button at the iBookstore and then tap the Free button to
view books.
note Books purchased from the iBookstore are protected by Apple's FairPlay
digital rights management (DRM) scheme, which means you can't give
the topic to someone else when you're finished reading, as you can with a print
book. That also adds an unfortunate (and stupid) limitation: You can't copy any
selected text in a book purchased from the store.
