How to Download an iBooks App

The iBooks application can be downloaded free of charge from Apple's App Store. This software is compatible with iOS devices including most versions of the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Apple created the iBook app so that users could enjoy reading digital books or "e-books" on their portable devices when they're on the go. Downloading and installing the app is a simple task that can be completed in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, the first generation iPod Touch and iPhone do not support the iBook app.
