Arabic is right to left language that is supported as part of ePub, but not by iBooks. The formatting can be achieved and represented properly in iBooks, but not the page turn, it turns right to left like for an English book, for Arabic the page turns need to be left to right. Any one know of a solution?
I have seen this problem reported many times but never any fix for it. I would be curious to know if the other ereade apps like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks have the same behavior...
I would think something like this would be relatively simple for Apple to implement. just have a setting to toggle left to right within iBooks. I'd recommend leaving feedback to Apple about this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Perhaps, but I personally I would like to see that another iOS ebook reader app has done it correctly before assuming that.
I agree with you br dreamweaver
This is an important thing and apple should solve this
I had stopped reading epub books since i updated to 1.5 because i got pored !
I feel disaapointed that apple don't look after arabic cutomer !
Can anyone get an Arabic iBook to turn the pages in the right way?
