5 Ways to Find Free Apple Books
Finding and downloading free Apple Books is easier than you think—here are five simple ways to fill your library without spending a cent.
What is Apple Books?
Apple Books is Apple’s answer to digital reading, similar to Amazon’s Kindle books. While Apple Books offers ebook shopping and reading in a sleek and user-friendly reading experience, it has a smaller selection compared to Kindle’s vast library. However, if you’re an Apple user, Apple Books integrates seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and it’s a simple way to access eBooks, audiobooks, and PDFs.
What Devices Do I Need to Read Apple Books?
To buy and/or read an Apple Book, you’ll need an Apple device such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The Apple Books app is pre-installed on these devices and it offers a solid shopping and reading experience. Unlike Kindle, which works on both Apple and non-Apple devices, Apple Books is exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. If you don’t like reading on your phone, tablet, or Mac, then you are out of luck. Apple does not offer an e-ink reader for Apple books.
Where Do I Access Apple Books?
You can access Apple Books directly from the Apple Books app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Open the app and you’ll have access to your library, personalized recommendations, and the entire Apple Books Store. You can browse, download, and start reading in just a few clicks.
