Of iTunes and iBooks
Since the release of OS X Mavericks, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about ebooks and iTunes. I address three of these in this week’s column. I also look at a question about smart playlists with nested conditions, and a way to keep Christmas music from coming up in shuffle mode on an iPod.
Q: Since I’ve upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, I notice that iTunes no longer has a Books section; all the books have moved to iBooks. Under this new scheme, how do I sync books to my iPhone or iPad?
You’re correct that since Mavericks has an iBooks app, you’ll find that iTunes no longer stores your books. The first time you select the Books library in iTunes, the app will offer to take you to iBooks, which will then import your books. It will not, however, move your audiobooks; these stay in iTunes, and the Books library gets renamed Audiobooks.
iBooks vacuums up the ebooks from your iTunes library to add them to its library.
