iBook store is an e-book reading and store application introduced by Apple Inc for its IOS and macOS devices and operating systems. Among all e-book stores that are available on the web, iBook is found to be the most popular.
The only issue faced with it is its compatibility with Windows devices.
There is no significant development from the company on the iBooks PC version. However, we can use it on our PC using an IOS emulator, which is software that emulates an IOS application to run on Windows PC.

How can I read iBooks on my PC?
There is no official iBook reader for PC on Apple, so you need to find another software. There are several kinds of iBooks files, each with a different extension like ePub. To read an ePub book on Windows, you can use an eBook reader application or plugins. An example of an eBook reader is Adobe Digital Editions. On the other hand, you can also use screen mirroring applications like ApowerMirror.
Adobe Digital Editions is a user-friendly eBook reader that features bookmarking, highlights, and notes for the users to enjoy. Furthermore, It supports multiple types of formats like ePub3 and PDF. It is available for download on the Adobe website for free.
You can install it in your Windows PC and drag an ePub file to its main screen, which will allow you quickly start open an ePub file. Other tools like Kobo or Kindle can also be used.
On the other hand, if you don’t prefer installing another software on your PC, you can also use an eBook reader plugin like EPEBReader for Firefox. For using it, go to a search engine like BING or Google and search ‘EPUBReader,’ which will allow you to find the plugin.
Open it and select ‘Add to Firefox.’ Drag ePub files to the firebox to open them—other plugins like MagicScroll for Google Chrome, work in the same way.
Apart from this, ApowerMirror is an efficient tool that is used for screen mirroring. It can be used as a gaming emulator and interacting control between your computer and phone. Its display reflecting function allows you to reflect and read iBooks on Windows PC. It is a user-friendly device and easy to download. Follow these steps:
- Download and install ApowerMirror
- Connect your phone to ApowerMirror and make sure your Wi-Fi is connected
