iBooks page turn animation

Japanese comics. they also read from right to left, so the 'spine' of the book is on the right. They display like that in Apple Books too. so I wonder they just haven't 'updated' this different format yet

I just noticed this morning with iPadOS 16.4.1, the page turn automation in Apple iBooks was added back as an option. Thank you to Apple for responding to us!

To get to the option, click on the Options icon ( I have mine at the lower right side of the iBooks window). Select Themes & Settings. On the right hand side of that pop up window, you will see an icon that looks like a page turning. That is the “page curl” option. Click on that, you can choose slide, curl or none. To get back to the traditional page turn automation, select curl. Very cool.

Hey thanks Apple! the hallmark of Apple in my view has always been a fun way of representing the real world on a virtual platform. The trash can the folders, the playfulness of it all... In my opinion it is getting lost. I hope you will bring it back

Yes - page turn available in 16.4.1 on iPhone and iPad - thank you very much.

Playfulness - at least as an option - sums it up, that real world interface that made it Apple from day 1

Lead don't follow

Thank you again

I find it very hard to believe that Apple does not monitor these forums for feedback. For one, Apple occasionally brands answers as “approved.” For two, no company as successful as Apple would ignore such an awesome source of user data.

We've gotten pretty good at gaining useful and significant insights from large stashes of text in the last few years. Maybe you've heard of LLMs?

Also, with a company as large and powerful as Apple, common decency would lead them to review multiple sources for customer satisfaction, not just a cumbersome feedback portal. It would also make way more sense, if their goal is to make an excellent user experience (and wouldn't you agree that it is?), to review the fora where users are seeking help for problems.

In any event, I'll just leave it with this-there are few (as far as I am aware, zero) instances of this oft-repeated answer that sport the "Apple Recommended" badge.

i just opened the Apple Books app since updating and seriously can't express the extreme negative feelings I am feeling right now from this change! I NEED THIS ANIMATION BACK PLEASE!

You, too, should also submit feedback to Apple:

Apple had brought back the Book turn animation. You can find it in Books app -> Themes & Settings -> Find the option in the middle icon in the top right corner and choose ‘curl’

Thank you. I submitted feedback through the proper channel

Really thinking of moving to other epub readers now. The only reason I have moved to ebooks since two years was because of the real-time experience I have got in Apple Books. Now Apple took it away.

Wow that setting is really buried down in there but thanks for showing me. I’ve turned it on and it’s kindle books for me on out!

I also hate the new page turn, because of that I stopped using the iBooks and switched to google play books and the page turn is so much better

What started my love for Apple since the iPad 2 it was iBooks. Now, it’s died before my eyes. I regret updating the iPad mini 6 as I now have to read on my old iPad mini 3 where I can turn pages.

This feature needs to return, I refuse to read pdf styled books. Really bad innovation on apples part feels like going through documents. No enjoyment of reading whatsoever.
