lecture.

In fact, the applicationiBooks(
free here on the App Store), theeBook readerpropose
by Apple for iPhone and iPad, has just been updated to version
1.5.

This brings important new features such as night reading mode or
"full screen" reading (or almost) among others, here is the list of
new features in addition to the classic improvements in terms of stability and
performances :

• A new Theme is available:night reading
  improves eye comfort for reading in the dark by displaying
  white letters on a black background.
• A so-called layoutfull screento avoid the
  "distractions": in fact this hides the display of the upper banner with
  the operator, the time and other information, this reduces requests
  visual, but can't really be called "full screen" (like
  rightly noted in the comments)
• iBooks is now enhanced withadditional fonts
  including Athelas, Charter, Iowan and Seravek.
• Ofnew coversfor public domain books
  are now available.
• Theannotation palette is redesignedand simplifies the
  choice of color for highlighted text.

It is logical to see Apple regularly evolve this application,
“readers” and others

the iPad in particular.
