Flipboard, the popular news reading application for the iPad, iPhone and other devices, now includes a Books category that integrates with Apple’s iBookstore. Flipboard announced the new category on its blog today, noting that the new Books category includes 25 sections of the most popular books from the iBookstore. “It’s like browsing in a bookstore, right from your Flipboard,” the company blog says.
The iBookstore integration allows users to read a summary of individual iBookstore books from within Flipboard. The app also provides an easily accessible button to download the complete book to the iBooks app via the iBookstore. The book reading feature is available in multiple countries including U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands and Brazil.
