Between the prior purchases and Self-restraint is weak I now library e-book in iBooków several titles of several hundred strong on my iPad, and it is constantly growing. Simply sort by title, author or genre simply does not intend to cut it. Fortunately, the introduction of user-manage collections in iBooków adds some much needed depth to the Organization of the e book iPad.
Collections in iBooków to create a subfolder in the library sort, where you can house related books. In my case, as you can see from the screenshot below, has created a collections for a series of books, photography, general resources (manuals for my cameras are there, along with e-books on photography and you purchase, because you can mix and match the e books and PDF files), game information, authors (books by and about) and much more besides. It is all quite simple to implement, as you can see the following instructions.
Step 1: getting books
If you use iBooków only for the purposes of the ebook, get books is a piece of dough. If, like me, you have to many suppliers exploded library you're going to need to break DRM (what to do at your own risk, and only by means of you dig up) on them, and then import them to iBooków via iTunes. Problem management of collections of books had already in the library before updating also had so you may want to re-syncing of all books before the administration of the collection.

At the beginning of iBooków contains two collections: books and PDF files. Of course, books are in ePub books, and any imported PDFs are, well, PDF files. To create a new collection, simply press the new button at the bottom of the Collections. Give the name of the collection of new and you can start with go.
Step 3: making Stuff in the collection
Press the Edit button in the upper-left corner of the library. Select the book you want to move to the collection, and then press to move to the upper-left corner of the screen. Select a collection of destination and the items will be moved. All this is to him.
Not yet run into too many restrictions on the use of the collection. Most of them you can work around by using the search you can filter by specific authors, titles, etc. The biggest problem is that all of your management of the collection has become in the application; You cannot manage them through iTunes, where tad easier is by using the keyboard and mouse. Apple really should think about adding this feature to iTunes, you really must do some growing up to become multifunctional equipment Manager and media Apple positioned it as.
