An new iBooks update has kicked Apple’s ebook reader for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch up to version 1.11 adding a fistful of fixes and features to go along with the newly arrived iTunes 9.2.1 update. So if you’ve been stocking your virtual library, what does the iBooks update add to the shelves?
The big addition with the latest iBooks update is support for audio and video in ebooks. It follows a recent Amazon Kindle app update which added the same features to the iBooks rival.
The iBooks update also now makes images within iBooks zoomable. Double tap and you’ll see them full screen while using pinch-to-zoom will allow you to get into even more detail.
While iBooks could already include PDFs in your library, the update adds improved controls to speed up reading performance. It also introduces English dictionary look-up for words in iBooks without a specified language.
Apple also promises that the iBooks update improves overall stability and performance and puts an end to a bug that was causing some downloads to fail.
The iBooks update is available now for free from iTunes. If you’ve already grabbed it, let us know what you think. Have you spotted any interesting new features or flaws?
