Sharon Zardetto took lots of time to go through the newest versions of Apple’s iBooks, including the premier edition for the Mac, to research her new Take Control of iBooks. You wouldn’t think there is that much to reading a book on a Mac or iDevice, but you would be wrong. Sharon talks about the variety of options and features that make iBooks such a great experience, how it handles your PDF documents, and names the biggest danger with the program. She also discusses the ebook concept in general, whether paper books still fit in, and more. This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Squarespace.

Ted Landau talks about his thinking on the iPad Air vs. iPad mini with Retina and why he’s waiting until he can hold them both, then dives into Mavericks. Ted’s upgrade went smoothly, but there are always those annoying little issues. Deleting tags in Mavericks, dual display mode and using Gmail with Mail have all been items that need attention, and Ted gives it, along with what he thinks are the long term implications of the iWork file changes.
