Why as Apple books changed the page direction from right to left now it scrolls up and down.

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!
