I don't think I saw any advance documentation about this.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Using Apple software applications
iBooks: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 - Computers are not listed under supported devices. iBooks app on Mavericks allows iBooks to be read and takes management of iBooks away from iTunes.

Until the latest update of iTunes, management from Mac to iPad was through iTunes.
Messy, and if taken away completely, then fine. Makes sense. I advised the same.
So now tell me how i can see the same draft book (ie not yet published, I am writiing one) that has successfully loaded into iBooks on the Mac over to iBooks on the iPad?
Reason: snce most people read books on tablets, not PC/Macs, and as writer/publisher I need to see it on the iPad too before publishing it. Or is, as seems to be the case here also, Apple is reducing product functionality - or has it "dropped the ball" again?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I do get the impression that is a general section, and not yet updated to reflect today's situation (last modified Aug 2013). Am I mistaken? Was this a robot reply?
Two days ago I told somebody you could not read books on a computer. Another advanced poster told me that had all changed with Mavericks and the introduction of the iBooks app and that the article was out of date (hence my edit, sorry). See http://www.apple.com/ibooks/ It doesn't come right out and say, "Now you can read books on your computer," but it does say you can enjoy them on your Mac = computer.
There's something on the iBooks page about iBooks author. I'll let you chase it down. I run a 12 year old computer and a 10 year old operating system so I have to go to the Apple Store 20 minutes walk from here in 10 below zero °F to see anything on Mavericks. 🙂
Deleted duplicate post.

Thank you Limnos for your help.

Can you confirm to me that the Books section has been discontinued in the latest release?
