iBooks 1.5 focuses on distraction-free reads
Apple late Tuesday gave readers an important update to iBooks (App Store). The 1.5 update catches up to some rival apps with a nighttime mode that switches to gray-on-black for reading with little or no light. Full-screen is also an option for those who want even more text on the screen, such as a children's book.
Other updates bring a new annotation palette to help pick the color for a highlight as well as four new choices for fonts. Public domain books now have better-looking covers to help them look like they belong in the library.
Running iBooks 1.5 needs iOS 4.2 on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

Nice! Now, just one more tweak, please - a landscape mode without the artifice of the book binding center space so that the reader's eye can go from left to right smoothly.
This seems so Apple-like, cleaner, simpler, but this hasn't happened yet. (Yes, I know this exists in Kindle for iPad and this is my preferred mode.)
