Apple releases iBooks 1.3 with read-aloud feature

Last updated: May 13, 2021 5:14 am UTC
By Charles Starrett

Apple has released iBooks 1.3, the latest version of its e-Reader software for iOS. According to Apple’s release notes, iBooks 1.3 adds support for a new read-aloud feature for younger children that’s included in select children’s books from the iBookstore.

The feature uses a real narrator to read the book to you and/or your child, and in some books, will highlight the words as its reading them aloud. Other features include automatic audio or video playback in enhanced books, improved responsiveness when opening very long books, and a fix for an issue where some books may display the same page twice.

iBooks 1.3 is available now as a free download from the App Store.
