Organizing the Bookshelf

Use the bookshelf to browse your books and PDFs. You can also organize items into collections.

Sort the bookshelf: Go to the bookshelf and tap the status bar to scroll to the top of the screen, then tap and select a sort method from the choices at the bottom of the screen.

Rearrange items on the bookshelf: Touch and hold a book or PDF, then drag it to a new location on the bookshelf.

Delete an item from the bookshelf: Go to the bookshelf and tap Edit. Tap each book or PDF that you want to delete so that a checkmark appears, then tap Delete. When you finish deleting, tap Done. If you delete a book you purchased, you can download it again from Purchases in the iBookstore. If you’ve synced your device with your computer, the book also remains in your iTunes Library.

Create, rename, or delete a collection: Tap the name of the current collection you’re viewing, such as Books or PDFs, to display the collections list. Tap New to add a new collection. To delete a collection, tap Edit, then tap and tap Delete. You can’t edit or remove the built-in Books and PDFs collections. To edit the name of a collection, tap its name. When you finish, tap Done.

Move a book or PDF to a collection: Go to the bookshelf and tap Edit. Tap each book or PDF that you want to move so that a checkmark appears, then tap Move and select a collection. Items can be in only one collection at a time. When you add a book or PDF to your bookshelf for the first time, it’s put into the Books or PDF collection. From there, you can move it to a different collection. You might want to create collections for work and school, for example, or for reference and leisure reading.

View a collection: Tap the name of the current collection at the top of the screen, then pick a new one from the list that appears.

Bookmark and Note Syncing

iBooks saves your bookmarks, notes, and current page information in your Apple account, so they’re always up to date and you can read a book seamlessly across multiple devices. For PDFs, the bookmarks and current page information are synced.

Turn bookmark syncing on or off: Go to Settings > iBooks, then turn Sync Bookmarks on or off.

You must have an Internet connection to sync your settings. iBooks syncs information for all of your books when you open or quit the app. Information for individual books is also synced when you open or close the book.
