Apple Updates iBooks To Version 1.3 With Read-Aloud And Auto-Play

This afternoon Apple released an update to iBooks bringing the app to version 1.3. The update delivers several new features and improvements to the popular eReader app. The changes are detailed below:

• Help your children learn to read with the new read-aloud feature included in select children’s books from the iBookstore.
The read-aloud feature uses a real narrator to read the book to you, and in some books, it will even highlight the words as you read along.
• Enhanced books can now automatically play audio or video included with the book.
• Makes iBooks more responsive when opening very long books.
• Addresses an issue where some books may display the same page twice.

The update is available in the App Store for free.
