| IBooks E-book Format | Apple | Data Files |
The .ibooks (Multi-Touch iBook) file extension is associated with the iBooks e-book reader developed by Apple Inc. for its iOS and macOS (formerly OS X) operating systems. It is a proprietary format of e-book which can be opened and accessed only on Apple devices and software. The file format and reader are widely used due to its intuitive design, use of engaging multimedia elements, and ability to store all the elements within a single book file.
Format Specifications
The .ibooks format is based on the EPUB standard for digital formats which uses HTML, XHTML, CSS, SVG, UTF-8 encoding, JavaScript, and Digital Rights Management (DRM). It has several integrated functions such as menu navigation, book glossaries, graphic images, interactive animations, embedded videos, and audio clips. Additionally, the format supports landscape or portrait layout with the option to automatically adjust elements according to device orientation.
Similar File Types
The .ibooks format is similar to other digital e-book formats such as .epub, .pdf, mofe, as well as other file formats like kepub, .azw, and .lit. All these file types can contain different features like interactive content but have varying levels of compatibility with different devices and software.
Programs for MAC system
Programs for IOS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .IBOOKS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .IBOOKS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .IBOOKS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .IBOOKS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .IBOOKS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .IBOOKS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .IBOOKS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .IBOOKS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .IBOOKS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .IBOOKS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
