Fortunately, you can read Amazon ebooks on an Apple iPad (or on Android and Windows tablets). You don't need to manually transfer files - simply download the free Kindle app from the app store on your tablet. The Kindle app on your iPad gives you access to your entire Amazon Kindle library.
The release of iOS 12 includes a revamped iBooks app. In fact, it's no longer called iBooks. It's now Apple Books, or Books for short. The basics are the same, but several new features have been added and the look and organization of the app have changed significantly.
Amazon has hundreds of thousands of e-books available to purchase and download. If you have the Kindle app for iOS, you can download and read Kindle books on your iPhone or iPad.
An iPad, just like any other device with an LCD color display (not only tablets but also phones) emits light directly into your eyes. Eye strain. It may not happen if you use an iPad for half an hour, but you'll definitely feel eye fatigue after reading a book all Sunday. A Kindle saves your eyes.
Add a collection: Make sure the My Books tab is selected at the bottom of the screen and then tap All Books at the top (you'll see a drop-down arrow).
