By Chuong Nguyen on 12/15/2010, filed in Home > Apple

Apple today has rolled out an update to its PDF and EPUB e-book reading app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad tablet. The new update, now in version 1.2, brings the ability to sort books and PDFs into collections. Now, you can organize your books to have a collection for genres, if you want, or however you want to sort and organize your digital bookshelf. AirPrint integration has also been integrated, so you’ll be able to print PDFs and notes written in iBooks. Also new to version 1.2 is the ability to “experience fully illustrated books, from children’s picture books to beautifully designed art books,” which are available in the iBookstore. More words per page can now be fitted with auto hyphenation of text as well, and will work with iOS 4.2 or later.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
