Hi tonyfromkirkby,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with books on your iPad.


It should be simulating a physical book and turning pages for you as you are expecting. Please see: Read books in the Books app on iPad


"Read a book


Tap the Reading Now or Library tab, then tap a cover to open a book. Use gestures and controls to navigate as follows:


  • Turn the page: Tap the right side of the page or swipe right to left.
  • Go back to the previous page: Tap the left side of the page or swipe left to right.
  • Go to a specific page: Tap the page and move the slider at the bottom of the screen left or right. Or, tap  and enter a page number, then tap the page number in the search results.
  • Close a book: Tap the center of the page to show the controls, then tap ."


Is this happening with every book in collection?


Let us know further details.


Have a fantastic day!
