Finally the User Guide is available. Enjoy.
iPad User Guide for iOS 10 by Apple Inc.
Aloha Bob. The iBook is now available as well. Just search in iBooks and download it. I'll bet you and I are the only ones who actually read these docs 😉 However, iBooks seems to have gone to an awkward single-page format. Maybe I have one setting too many.
Aloha Diana.
Thank you. I found it late last night and should have a second thread somewhere with the link. I didn't notice the single page version until you mentioned it. It's horrible. In iBooks that's called scrolling view and when the had PDF's of updates they also used that view. Maybe we can impress upon Apple how much we dislike it so they'll change it back.🙂
Stay well. Bob

[at least this one's not in Spanish AND Greek!]
Nothing like posting a link to an out-dated guide. I wonder if they'll let me back in ?
Spin it thisaway...
"The page was on the Greek Store, yet was in Spanish for a Spanish version of an Apple iBook User Guide of iOS 9. I just thought y'all might like to know."
Plead temporary lunacy on the wrong version bit - I will testify that it happens all the time.
I'm not sure Vicky will buy it was only temporary.
probably not... especially if she gets a gander at your photo
😁😁 That was right after receiving my first Apple Recommends.
I get all warm inside when I get one of those still...
They really like it when you post a link to an Apple article
fro example, this is my last one - I REALLY wanted to make sure I got one 😉
Aloha Diana.
My apologies if my answer is confusing. I started two threads about IOS 10 and thought you were replying to the first thread. I'll repost the link to the internet version of the guide below.
Stay well. Bob.
Hi. Regarding the iBooks view, what I don't get is that some older iBooks have changed also. For example, the 9.3 iPad guide.
I don't like this one bit. I'll leave them a nasty message in capital letters, that should fix it. 🙂
NOT FUNNY APPLE. 😟
[nosy me]
What you just report tells me (thinkin' outside the box) is that there may be something about the "New reader" - "readING" a particular iBook (a "glorified" PDF?) with maybe some special characteristics - NEW and OLD iBooks behave/display the same?
Of course, I have no way of helping with an ibook like I could if only a PDF
EDITadded
Aren't some (a lot?) iBooks "protected" in some way to ensure that only iBooksReader can read them?
It seems to me like they've changed the default view for landscape from two pages side by side to single page. It's not the scrolled view Bob mentioned because it still flips pages sideways, instead of scrolling like one long page. There's an annoying page flip animation as well. I wonder if it works this way on the big Pro, where it would be really laughable. I have another (purchased) iBook that still reads in the original side-by-side mode. So obviously the book has some control over its formatting. But there are no settings available to change the view.
And yes, these iBooks are locked into iBooks. You can open normal pdfs in iBooks or other apps, but iBooks are iBooks, period. I guess Apple didn't want their docs just floating around on the net.
I am operating from memory from two or three 'sleeps' ago...
A user bought an iBook using iTunes for Windows - THEN tried to figure out how to read it on a PC !
In my research, I stumbled across some acronym ("DMR"??) that was the 'protection' for iBooks only. This apparently IS set by the author IN iBooksAuthor App.
I am assuming that in iBooksAuthor one makes all kinds of decisions about how one wants the "book" to display. It is not very "user friendly" to prevent a person from choosing one's own preferences, but a physical book doesn't offer many options either!
Say, "La vee."
EditADDED
It could very well be that the person doing the "authoring" was merely 'careless' instead of this being 'by design' (??)
