Is there vertical scrolling epub books in iBooks for Mac?

I guess I'm a little spoiled with iBook for the iPad being able to scroll vertically instead of page turn
because I just can't seem to find it in iBooks for the Mac. Perhaps it's right in front of me and I'm not
seeing it... or perhaps it's just not implemented on the Mac version and if so why not? Many thanks!

A PDF cannot be vertically scrolled (iOS)
An EPUB cannot be vertically scrolled (OSX)
Starting to see a pattern here...

  • IBooks for Mac Doesn't Reopen Books

    iBooks isn't reopening windows after I close it. Here's what I do in sequence:
    1. Open iBooks.
    2. Double-click a book.
    3. Click the fullscreen button in the upper-right corner.
    4. Quit iBooks with CMD + Q.
    5. Open iBooks.
    No windows pop up, not even my Library. I have to quit and open it again to get the Library back.
    Also, it doesn't sync my progress in books between iBooks for Mac and iBooks for iPad correctly. It usually puts me a chapter or two behind where I am.
    When Apple released the update, I hoped it would fix it, but nobody else seems to have this problem.

    I’m seeing the same thing on my MacBook Pro. My Mac mini, running the same OS X version 10.9.3 doesn’t have this issue. The issue exists across user accounts on the MBP.

  • How do I get an epub book into IBook to read on my iPad

    I have a lot of eBooks, used on a Kindle and have tried to get iBook to see them on my iPad. It does not.
    1. I converted from azw to epub with Calibre
    2. I tried dragging and dropping the file onto iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad which didn't work.
    3. I used Add to Library from the File menu and they imported ending up in iTunes->Library->Books.
    4. I tried dragging each book from iTunes->Library->Book to iTunes->iPad->Books and onto iTunes->iPad and it would not work
    5. I Synched my iPad and cannot find any of the epub books with iBook. Nothing but Winnie the Poo which came with iBooks.
    What and I doing wrong?

    There are some threads on the use of Calibre with the iPad on their forums. This thread might be of help:

    and if not searching that forum for "iPad" may turn up additional suggestions.
    Good luck.

  • How to get books onto iPad when iBooks for Mac refuses to sync.

    I have around 300 books which were originally in the books section of iTunes. Since upgrading to Mavericks the new iBooks for Mac is moved them all over and I ma now unable to access most of them on my iPad despite making sure all settings are correct. None of the books I use for study created by iBooks Author will now transfer. The only ones that seem to are those recently purchased from iTunes. Anybody out there found a solution yet. Apparently Apple admit that only books purchased from iTunes will sync, but I need to be able to get them on my iPad. I don't care if they sync or not.

    There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
    System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
    IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
    iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
    iTunes
    Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
    Choose Books along the top toolbar
    In the Books panel, choose one of the following
    Books and PDF Files
    Books only
    PDF only
    In the Sync Books panel
    All Books
    Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
    Select iTunes Sync
    The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • IBooks for Mac - purchase books as gifts

    I know in the past it was not possible to purchase books as gifts. I've seen in iBooks for iOS it is now possible to send a book as a gift; it is shown as an option at the bottom of the Featured screen.
    With iBooks for Macs running Mavericks, can you gift a book? Or, if you want to send a book as a gift, do you need to do so using iBooks for iOS?
    Thanks.

  • Can I organize my books on iBooks for Yosemite?

    Hi,
    I want to know how to organize my books on iBooks for Yosemite editing the details of each book.
    I wantt to edit some features like name of the books, genre, collections and other things. In Mountain Lion this was possible but in Mavericks or Yosemite I can't do this anymore.
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks and forgive my poor english

    When you see the book, does it indicate you have already purchased it? If not, then yes, it is a different edition and you would need to repurchase to get that cover (not sure why you would want to do that, but ok).
    If it indicates you already own it, you could try deleting it from iBooks and redownloading, I suppose.

    iBooks Author is for your computer.
    iBooks 2 is for your iPad.
    Go back to the store and repeat the download for iBooks Author on your computer. If still no joy, consider walking your MB into the nearest Appls Store and asking for help there.
    Good luck.

  • Video controls in iBooks for Mac

    I'm producing a Fixed Layout ePub, with video and animation.
    Some videos fit the width of the page, nothing to report on iPad reading, but on iBooks for Mac I can't play the video because "play" button is "under" the iBooks "turn page" button!
    I see video controls "iPad-like" on Mac, in books like "Yellow Submarine": I've tried to see the code but these books are encrypted.. any help?

    Open iBooks -> open book -> edit -> speech -> start speaking.

  • Are you ever going to make iBooks for Mac OSX?

    It seems crazy to me that Apple has not released iBooks for the Mac!! Why would you hold out on such an essential tool for students or anyone wanting to use their computers and iOS devices for reading??
    Has there been any new for a forthcoming iBooks for Mac?

    No, and I doubt there will ever be. iBooks is only for iOS.

  • How can i sync mac address book w/ outlook for mac 2011

    Is it possible to have the address book in Outlook for Mac 2011 sync w/ the Mac address book?  I cleaned up my contacts in the Mac address book expecting the changes to show up in my outlook address book.  Made over 200 changes that did not show up on the Outlook address book.  Seems like there should be a way to make this work.  If I add contacts from within Outlook, I'd like them to show up on all my devices.  MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to this platform as I was a PC guy for the last 30 years. 

    I've got Outlook up and running just fine.  Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update.  Apparently that has been an ongoing issue.  I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that.  I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook.  Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync.  Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.

    yea , after reading lots of discussions about this issue , it looks like its happening with lots of people. they try to read books on their macbook pro and they cant. it looks Apple wants u to buy other devices like ipad in order to be able to read books. and they do that in purpose.  cuz mainly they make money from selling hardware not from selling other products through their website.
    cuz it doesnt make any sence to me that u can read books on your iphone and u cannot on your macbook pro!!! this is rediculous!
    however, Im buying an Ipad anyway for my daughter and im wondering how i can download and read the book i already purchased  throu my macbook, im i still able to use the same Apple account and download whatever i purchased on other devices?
    Actually, Apple makes a nice profit from  songs, video, book, and apps. They also have apps in the AppStore for all of their major competitors in the eBook market some of which do have apps for reading on Mac OSX machines. So, no, it's not about trying to con you into buying hardware.
    Yes, if you and your daughter are using the same AppleID, you can share the iBooks on different devices.
