How do I organize books into collections in iBooks?

I would like to know how to go about organizing books and pdf documents into Collections on my iPad. The iPad Use Guide i have reviewed gives no explanation. the iBooks support web page merely says it can be done, but does not explain how. Thanks for your help on this.

On the bookshelf in the iBooks app, tap the Edit button at the top right of the screen, then tap the book(s) that you want to put into a collection so that they get a tick on their bottom right corner (tap a book again to deselect it), and then tap the Move button at the top left of the screen - you should then be able to move them into a existing collection, or tap the New button on the pop-up to create a new collection to put them in.
To then view a collection tap the Collections button at the top left of the bookshelf (or you might be able to swipe/drag across the bookshelf to scroll through your collections).

    Can anyone tell me how to sort books into categories on my IPad?  Thanks!

    If this is in the iBooks app then you should be able to create new collection via the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf, and you can then move books into collections via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf (that should let you select books and then move them)

  • How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone

    How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone?
    I am running current apps on all (PC with windows 7)
    When I sysnc my iphone the  PDF books in iTunes do not show up in the iBook library.
    I see no place to configure the sync of books as some tutotials suggest.
    Thanks!

    You've selected the iPhone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and you've then selected the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes and selected those PDFs and clicked on sync/apply to try and copy them over to your phone ? And in the iBooks app on your phone you have 'PDF' selected on the button at the top middle of the bookshelf, not 'Books' ?

  • IBooks: How do you sort books into categories?

    Thanks in advance.

    From the library view in iBooks, you can create and access Collections, and place books into them.
    Tap Collections, and you will see the New and Edit buttons.
    From the bookshelf, if you tap Edit (upper right) you can then tap the book and then Move to move it to a collection.

  • How to transfer files from different collections in iBooks?

    Hey Everyone!
    As a rep on the road I use my iPad quite a bit with my customers. When I receive pdf files I like to be able to save them in iBooks so that I can show them to my customers at any time. Organizing them seems to be a little difficult in iBooks though. A pdf will open up automatically in the pdf section in iBooks, but when I try to create a new collection in iBooks I can't seem to be able to transfer a pdf into that new collection that I create. Should I be able to do this?
    THanks for your help everyone!

    I think that pdfs are themselved a collection, and i books is not going to let you subdivide it further.  You might try some other system for organizing the pdfs such as docstogo or dropbox, or file browser or goodreader  I think those will let you store the pdfs in whatever file structure you want.  You would be viewing those pdfs from their reader, and not ibooks.

  • How to transfer PDF book into Digital Editions library?

    I recently purchased a reference book which downloaded to Adobe Reader, so I have it stored in Adobe Cloud.
    Can this book be transferred to Adobe Digital Editions ?
    How?

    I am working on a similar issue. I can get the PDF into Keynote using Acrobat Pro (very expensive) I am usingit on a Mackbook Pro Retina. the issue I am having is that the PDF shrinks to fit the PDF to the slide and when it does that it changes the word placement. It stays in the same colum but part of the word is on top and the rest of it is below the top. I have to spend some more time on it. I don't think that you will be able to do what you want with the ipad? The Ipad and the Imac are two different programs with the full program on the Imac.

  • How to share a non-copyrighted collection from ibooks

    I have 25 health education brochures that are non-copyrighted saved on a shelf in ibooks.  I would like to email them as a group to my work colleagues so they have acccess on their ipad but I can't figure out how to do this.  It allows me to send them individually but I want to keep them as a collection specific to diabetes. How can this be done?
    Thanks for your help

    You will need to create a shared folder in Dropbox, then populate that with what ever folders you need to organize the files. It appears the DropBox app,will not handle this, but you can do, it by logging in to you account via Safari. Once the folders are created, they will show up in the app. Likewise with designating the folders as shared. Anyone you wish to share with will need a Dropbox account. (using the public folder will not work since links out it are for files only, not folders. An odd restriction, but it is what it is).
    IF you have copies of the files on a PC, you will find that will be the easiest place to upload them from. If they are only in iBooks on the iPad, you will need to synch and use the file management function to copy them off. not sure if you can synch them back over to DropCopy within iTunes (never tried it).
    DEpending on your needs, a couple of apps to look into are iCab Mobile (a browser), and GoodReader (doc viewing and management app). Both integrate well with DropBox.

  • How to mark a book as new in iBooks?

    I know whenever you sync a new item to iBooks is mark with a "new" ribbon, which disappears once you turn the first page. Sometimes i've had open a book just to overlook a few pages, but i want to restore the "new" ribbon so i can identify unread books. When you have a large library in iBooks is complicated to remember which books are new/unread and which are already read. Does anyone knows how to mark books as new/unread?

    You can't. You could consider creating a collection specifically for  newly downloaded books.

  • How do I get books to sync between ibooks on my Mac and my iPad?

    I recently purchased an ebook from a source outside of the IBooks store (ePub). I loaded it into the IBooks app on my Mac and I can open and read it there but it does not appear on my iPad. I'm using Mavericks and from what I've researched I think that I have it set up correctly to sync...but the book will not sync. Any hints?

    Another options  is to have an app like Dropbox on your iPad and Mac and  transfer to the iPad that way.
    It will transfer to the iPad and should  offer you ooption to open your ePub.
    If you intend to  add more nonne iBooks store ePubs, I suggest you download a decent Free Books  app and Dropbox will detetct it and offer as an option to open your book.
    this thread may also offer another option for you.

    There is no way to do that except in the case of certain publishers which do not DRM their books.  O'Reilly and Take Control are two I have heard of.
    All paid-for books in the iBookstore say right on the purchase page that an iOS device is required to read them.

  • Any info on importing kindle format books into MacBook Pro ibook app?   Thanks!

    Any info on importing Kindle format books in an iBook app on my MacBook Pro would be much appreciated.....Thanks..

    Can't be done without stripping the DRM.  That is illegal, and can't be discussed in this forum.  If you have no DRM that's one thing.   There are several services that will convert the book format.  I've found a few on Google.

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

    I recently purchased a book on itunes. How do I get it into ibooks? On itunes it says that it is downoaded...but to where has it been downloaded?

    If you bought it on your computer's iTunes then it will have downloaded to the Books section of your computer's iTunes library. You should be able to sync it to the iBooks by connecting and selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then on the Books tab on the right-hand side of the screen selecting and syncing that book. Or you should also be able to re-download it directly on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app - it should sync/download to the Books collection in the app.
