What do you after you’ve created one of the most popular, versatile tablet devices on the market? Well, after you make iBooks, you move on to the magazine market. Rumor has it that Apple is one to two months away from launching their own digital newsstand. Think iBooks for magazines. However, instead of purchasing a book at a time, you’ll be able to purchase subscriptions to magazines just as you would with the printed issues.

Sure, most of use just use our iBooks software to goof off and read for pleasure, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. If however, you want to use your iBooks for more academic uses, or prove to your friends that there really is a swear word in that beloved children’s book*, then you will need an efficient way to find it. That is where the text search feature of your iPad comes in very handy.

Along with the tablet announced on January 27th, Apple also stated that they have created an application known as iBooks. This app not only allows users to read digital books, it also integrates with a store from which to purchase them. The only unfortunate aspect of the iBooks application so far is that it may only be available in the US when the iPad is actually being sold this March.
