Step by Step Tutorial: Enabling Continuous Scrolling in iBooks
Before we get to the nitty-gritty, let me tell you what these steps are going to achieve. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to read your favorite books in iBooks without having to flip pages. Instead, you’ll scroll up and down, just like on a website. Are you ready? Here we go!
Step 1: Open iBooks
First things first, you need to open the iBooks app on your iPhone or iPad. It’s usually on your home screen, but if you can’t find it, swipe down on the home screen and type ‘iBooks’ into the search bar.
Step 2: Select a Book
Once you’ve got iBooks open, pick any book from your library. Tap on it to open it up. If you haven’t downloaded the book yet, you’ll need to do that first.
Step 3: Access Reading Settings
With your book open, look at the top of the screen. You’ll see a few different icons. Tap on the one that looks like an "Aa". That’s where the reading settings are.
Step 4: Choose Scrolling View
After tapping the "Aa" icon, a menu will pop up. Look for an option that says ‘Scrolling View’ and tap it. If you can’t find it, it might say ‘Themes’ instead – tap that and then select ‘Scrolling View’.
Step 5: Enjoy Continuous Scrolling
Now that you’ve selected ‘Scrolling View,’ the page-flipping is gone. You can scroll up and down through your book just like a webpage. Go on, give it a try!
Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll be able to read your iBooks with a simple flick of your finger. Smooth, continuous scrolling is at your fingertips – literally!
Tips: Making the Most of Continuous Scrolling in iBooks
- If you’re reading in low light, consider enabling the ‘Night Mode’ from the same ‘Aa’ menu for a better scrolling experience.
- To adjust the scrolling speed, simply swipe up or down faster or slower, depending on your preference.
- If you want to quickly find a specific part of the book, use the search function to jump to the section you need.
- You can still bookmark pages in scrolling view by tapping the top right corner of the screen.
- Remember that not all books may support the scrolling view, so if it’s not available, you might have to stick to flipping pages for that particular book.
