Popular digital flipping magazine Flipboard is expanding its catalogue of media offerings. Flipboard is expanding beyond news, magazine, audio, video content, RSS and is introducing a Books category today for its?iOS app.
"Reflecting as many genres as there are sections, it's like browsing in a bookstore, right from your Flipboard," Flipboard?said?in a blog post.
Flipboard has teamed up with Apple to add iBooks content to the newsreader's iOS app. It?is introducing a new Books category filled with 25 sections, including Biographies & Memoirs, Comics & Graphic Novels, Nonfiction, and Humor. Users can browse through these sections to see large graphics of the book covers. Tapping a cover reveals information about the book, such as author and publisher, as well as a summary of the title and highlights from critics, when available.
The new feature on Flipboard will serve as a portal to Apple?s?iBookstore, which is stuffed with over 1.5 million titles. Each book in Flipboard offers a synopsis and an iBook link, so readers can readily purchase a must-read for their iBooks library.?
The new category launched with tailor-made bookshelves for the United States, Canada, the U.K., Brazil, Australia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain.
Sadly, Android users don?t have an access to this newly launched book section. The company did not comment on its launch to the Android users.
Flipboard made its debut on the iPad?in 2010, and?came to the iPhone?late last year, quickly logging?1 million downloads. It arrived on Android?in May.
The San Francisco-based start-up takes the content links that your friends are sharing on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, and lays them out in a magazine format, which users can ?flip?. Users can flip through pages of news and other content?from their connected content sources as well as their friends? Facebook and Twitter suggestions.
Flipboard is live in more than 200 countries around the world and is most popular in the US, followed by the UK and then China. Earlier in August, the social reader announced that its app now has 20 million users and share 3 billion items per month.
