OK I agree iOS applications can often provide better reading experiences , especially with kindle and Voice Dream reader. I think a Mac ebook solution remains important for people who want to for example, study as the integration with productivity software may be important. I also agree that iBooks is clearly not a PDF solution on the Mac so will not suit you as an eBook reader if you have hundreds in this format. Personally I have switched to Nisus Writer Pro for PDF as Preview often does not read to me even with multiple interactions with the text. In relation to storage I assume this is a problem with purchased iBooks only? If it is about general ebook reading I guess I go about things in a different way. For example I download ePub files from various locations, including magazines from the RNIB. I can open these from anywhere on my Mac, SD card, external drive etc and iBooks will happily read these from any location if I simply press command down arrow in Finder. I may be unusual in accessing comparatively few of my ebooks from the iBooks store.
However I may be misunderstanding your difficulty with storage and the app. David Griffith > On 26 Jan 2015, at 21:06, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <[email protected]> wrote: > > iBooks on Yosemite is definitely an improvement over Mavericks, but I'm still > using iOS for my book reading and can't really see any great loss in not > having iBooks for Mac.
