Now open iBooks on your Mac, and you’ll realise that there’s something wrong about reading in landscape on a laptop. Both make reading in iBooks is a natural experience – you tap and swipe, with the book’s pages filling a portrait screen so you can concentrate on the words. Many of us at Stuff towers own an iPad or an iPhone. Quite why is slightly beyond us – particularly in the case of iBooks. Now, desktop users get to join the club – Mavericks introduces Apple Maps and iBooks as stand-alone applications. See those two new icons? For years, iOS users have been using iBooks and Apple Maps (in the case of the latter, through gritted teeth). Launch into Mavericks after the upgrade and look at the Dock.
