Does anybody know which functionality the software offers? For example

Does anybody know about the language capability of this reading software? Foe example can it handle
If the software is limited to only English and a small subset of the above, then I think this article should give details.

This article should be merged into itunes or ipad articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.9.210 (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
This should merge into iBookstore. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 14:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Maybe. But maybe we should wait until people are actually using iPads and using iBooks first, otherwise we might just have to unmerge it again if the topic becomes popular. Vote "wait and see?" ErkDemon (talk) 04:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
I think this should be merged into iBookstore (or vice versa), but certainly not iPad (it doesn't even come preinstalled on the iPad) or even worse iTunes Store (the App Store has a separate article, why shoudn't the iBookstore?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdoDodo (talk • contribs)
There was a book publishing company that went out of business a few years ago called iBooks, Inc. I can't ever find anything on it anywhere due to the new application by Apple. I think at the very least there should be a blurb about it at the top of the iBooks Wikipedia page, or a link to a short article about the publisher. Mwirsig (talk) 18:40, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the following sentence from the article:
The Kindle App for iPad is free and offers many books for less than the iBookstore.[1]
The sentence did not have a neutral tone, because of phrases like "is free", "offers many books", and "for less" which sound more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. If you think this sentence should stay in the article, or have a more neutral alternative, then I will be happy to discuss it here. - EdoDodo talk 14:45, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
I added a link to a video tutorial I created for my class here at San Jose State.

I propose that iBooks#iBooks Store be merged into iTunes Store. I think that the content in the iBooks Store section can easily be explained in the context of iTunes Store, and the iBooks Store section is of a reasonable size that the merging of iTunes Store will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Proud User (talk) 22:14, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Two problems here. 1) The iBooks Store is distinct from the iTunes Store so merging as proposed would not be helpful. 2) The section on the iBooks Store contained within an article on the iBooks app is incongruous. This probably resulted when the text formerly in iBooks Store was moved to iBooks. I suggest the best resolution would be to move the content in the iBooks Store section to its own topic. After all the iBooks Store is the second largest seller of eBooks globally. It deserves a topic of its own and a more extensive write up. Same for the iBooks app. This topic lacks the detail usually found in Wikipedia for significant software products.

Yesterday I edited other Wikipedia pages to update the version number of each application that has changed on the recently released OS X 10.11. However I am not sure how the page for "iBooks" can have its version changed (from 1.2 to 1.3). Clicking on the "plus/minus" symbol to the right of "1.2 (June 30, 2015; 2 months ago)" takes me to a page that is apparently a redirect to "Template:Latest stable software release/iBooks", but I do not understand how to change this version to "1.3 (August 23, 2015)". Can anyone help? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gepree (talk • contribs) 08:58, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Do we have a source that Apple Books is written in Objective-C?
