The document discusses the history and use of Apple's iBooks/Books application. It was introduced in 2010 alongside the iPad as a way to read ebooks and other digital publications. Over time, it expanded to iOS devices and MacOS. The application allows users to browse, purchase, and read ebooks and other files from Apple's bookstore. It helped address issues with the physical burden of textbooks by moving to a more portable digital format.

2.  Even before the computer revolution, the
significant materials demands for teaching and
learning were a bone of contention. For school
administrations, textbooks and supplementary
materials are a giant money pit; for teachers,
generating endless handouts is a time-sink, and
for students, organizing — and carrying — reams
of xeroxed sheets and monumental textbooks is
cumbersome, to say the least. With the advent of
slim and increasingly affordable electronic
devices, the long-accepted burden of a paper-
based education may no longer be necessary.

4.  Apple Books (formerly iBooks, between January 2010
to September 2018) is an e-book reading and store
application by Apple inc. for its IOS and macOS
operating systems and devices. It was announced,
under the name iBooks, in conjunction with the iPads
on January 27, 2010, and was released for the iphone
and iPod Touch in mid-2010, as part of the IOS 4
update. Initially, iBooks was not pre-loaded onto IOS
devices, but users could install it free of charge from
the iTunesApp Store. With the release of iOS 8, it
became an integrated app. On June 10, 2013, at the
Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, Craig
Federighi announced that iBooks would also be
provided with OS X Mavericks in fall 2013.
