Still remember the day when iBooks represented the state of the art in ebook reader with its beautiful bookshelf and realistic finger-following page curl animation as presented by Steve Jobs?

Unfortunately, iBooks has been pretty much in relative decline since iOS 7. Nevertheless, it is still much better at high-fidelity rendering of EPUB than many other ereaders, including various incarnation of Marvin. So I really have a hard time believing the story by harriska2.

mores, I don't think it's a good idea to "add [Seriesname #] to book titles to get things all nicely organized". Since [Seriesname #] are not EPUB attributes, there is no robust way to add it to the EPUB file itself. A better way is to rely on some good book management software and/or ereader app. My favorite is now MapleRead, which gives me the feel of the good old Steve Jobs' iBooks and the powerful and well thought-out design. Taking care of [Seriesname #] is a piece of cake, whether you do it by editing within the app or by importing via calibre.
