Is there a way I can organize my ebooks in the I-Book app?

Question

I have both the IBook and Kindle app on my IPad.  I'd like to be able to organize my books by catagory.  Is that possible?  If so, how do I do that?  Thank

It depends upon what you want to achieve. In the iBooks app you can have the books shown as a list : there should be 2 icons at the top right of the bookshelf next to the Edit button, with the right-hand one displaying the books as a list, and with that selected you should then get options along the bottom of the screen for how to sort the books, including by category.  With the second icon the books are shown across the screen, and you can press and hold a book and then after a second or so it should seem to move out of the shelf and you can drag it to a different position on the bookshelf. You can also use 'collections' (button top left of the bookshelf) to create/select book collections, and you can move books to a different collection via the Edit button top right.
With the Kindle app you can sort books by date (which I think is purchase date), title or author, the app doesn't appear to support collections.
