Using Collections is an easy way for you to organize your bookshelf. These will sync across all of your devices. By default, when first using iBooks it is set to “All Books.” The next view is “Collections,” which is where you can find any PDFs that you have stored in iBooks. Once you start downloading books, you can check on the status of the download by clicking the button with an arrow on it in the toolbar.Īt the top, you have different viewing options. This will download and open the book for you. To download the books onto your Mac, select the book, then double click it. (If you miss this step, you can always choose to set up syncing later by clicking on iBooks in the upper left hand corner, opening the preferences screen, and checking the “Sync” box.) When you sign in to your Apple ID it asks if you want to sync, and it will sync bookmarks, highlights and collections across all of your devices. These books are currently stored in the cloud (denoted by the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of each book) and they are not ready for reading yet. Once you sign into your account, iBooks displays all of the iBook purchases you have made. Once you press the “Get Started” button on your first run of iBooks, you’ll need to sign in to your Apple ID.
