Q: iOS 10 and iBook. Can someone help me change my iBooks reading to actually look like a book?

Hello, I'm looking for help with iBooks and iOS 10.  Before iOS 10 I was able to read my iBooks in landscape and actually looked like a book that I would read if I purchased it but now if I read a book and landscape I'm not seeing that anymore in iBooks now that I'm up graded my iPad To iOS 10. Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks Chrissy

iPad Air, iOS 10, iBook

    Hi. It seems like some iBooks have their settings locked in and cannot be changed. The preference for portrait vs landscape view may depend on device screen size.

    Mean iBook authors!

    I think the book isn't reformatting to portrait mode. Maybe related to the font problem.

    First screenshot is iBooks landscape mode.

    Second screenshot I'll go to photos and turn the first screenshot to portrait.

    The sizes of the screenshots may not be accurate. The important thing is how much ofthe pade the print uses.

    Before you ask here is portrait ask mode with the proper reformatting.

    How in the world does your reply to original qualify as "Solved"? Instead of trying to mollify us with "all the great new features," please explain how to do what worked before, or simply confess the features are now dead. Namely: 1) simple switch for single to double column viewing and 2) Auto-Night Theme that actually functions automatically.

     

    Content source format is no excuse; Apple iBooks don't behave as before. And forcing font size down to what, 6pts, 4pts, to force iOS 10 to finally yield 2 columns is the kind of approach that killed Windows. Inexcusable.

     

    Someone one has trashed the iBooks app, or is this just a sloppy upgrade for which we can expect a fix?

    Sterling had nothing to do with the design of IOS 10 and like the rest of us is just trying to be helpful.

    You want Apple to hear you and hopefully do something use the link below.

    How? Two separate, independent controls: 1) toggle button, 1 or 2 columns and 2) font size (as currently). Evidently the toggle switch is too intrusive to have included in upgrade iOS 9 to iOS 10

    There never was a seperate single/double toggle switch. If you want one the feedback link is above.
