Yeah, they&#8217;re basic enhancements at best, but we&#8217;re  still trying to wrap our minds around this idea that Apple is already  responsible for nearly a quarter of all ebook sales. Then again, as  Steve points out, a cool five million of the darn things have been  downloaded in the first 65 days of the iPad&#8217;s availability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Seems like even five mill ain&#8217;t gonna be enough  for Apple, which is set to massively expand its iBooks user base by  bringing the app to iPhone and iPod touch users. You&#8217;ll be getting the  same note-taking, same bookmarking &#8212; same everything &#8212; just on a  smaller screen, and at no extra charge. Users will be able to purchase a  book on one device and then consume it across the full range of  iDevices, with bookmarks and progress getting synced across the ether.<\/p><div class='zox-widget-ad' style='float:none'><span class='zox-ad-label'>Advertisement<\/span><iframe id='a141c1a9' name='a141c1a9' src='https:\/\/openx.notebookspec.com\/www\/delivery\/afr.php?zoneid=123&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='300' height='250' allow='autoplay'><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/openx.notebookspec.com\/www\/delivery\/ck.php?n=a0e6abb9&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE\"  target=\"_blank\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/openx.notebookspec.com\/www\/delivery\/avw.php?zoneid=123&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&amp;n=a0e6abb9\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Link :<\/strong> http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/06\/07\/ipad-corners-22-percent-of-ebook-market-gets-pdf-reading-abilit\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has just announced that the iPad has collected 22 % of ebook sales since its launch and is about to get new features too Advertisement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1011016,"featured_media":559594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3221,3220,2033],"class_list":["post-32167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notebook-news","tag-ebook","tag-ibooks","tag-ipad"],"views":385,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1011016"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notebookspec.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
