The iPad maker has added its ebook catalogue to the iTunes software allowing titles to be viewed and downloaded directly to computers.
However, unlike Amazon’s Kindle and Canadian-based Kobo, Apple has not announced a desktop reader for its books. Many observers had expected ti to use this week’s developer conference to announce an app for the next version of its Max OS X software which is launched next month.
Books purchased from iBooks can be read on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
