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

I understand that when reading your ebook in iBooks for iOS 10 the landscape view that you are used to looks a bit different in the updated version of iBooks. With updates and upgrades will come small changes in the way your apps display it's content. If you are still able to read the book via landscape view, this let's us know that the app is functioning as expected. You can try adjusting the appearance in the iBooks app to have it look exactly the way you want while reading in the landscape mode.
Change the appearance of your books
You can adjust certain features of some ePub books or some books created with iBooks Author, including:
Font size. Choose from the included fonts. At this time, you can't install and use custom fonts.
Text and background color. In iBooks 4.0 or later, you can use three themes: White, Sepia, and Night. (Select the Night option to read books in the dark.) Turn on Auto-Night Theme to automatically switch to the Night theme in low light.
Scrolling. In iBooks 3.2 or later, you can use the Scrolling View to read your books in a continuous vertical scroll rather than turning pages. This feature is available in any theme.
Share thoughts with friends. In iBooks for iOS 3.0 or later and in iBooks for Mac, you can share highlights and selections on Facebook, Twitter, Messages, or Mail (United States only).
You can't change the appearance of PDFs or audiobooks.
Not all of these features work with ePubs created with iBooks Author or certain other enhanced ePub files.
