iPod Is there any such thing as documentation for iBooks?

I hear one can do things like change fonts and other configuration in iBooks, but I'm obviously pretty close to the village idiot today, because I cannot find how to get into configuration. I have tried general device settings, which wasn't useful. Web searching fails to reveal anything that approximates to a user manual.

Download any epub book and open it.
Single tap on center, you should see: Library, bullet-list icon, brightness icon, aA, magnifier, bookmark.

Is that hard ? I think you are just not familiar with your iDevice.

I didn't find iBooks very intuitive to start with either.

There's an iPod touch user guide which has a section on iBooks:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...User_Guide.pdf

Apple also has a very basic iBooks FAQ on their website:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059

There are some walkthroughs on youtube too that might be helpful.

As I am the first to admit

. I just got the thing Friday, and hadn't previously had much chance to play with it. That single tap idea (which I apparently never thought to try, not knowing much about iOS at all) got me what I needed. Many thanks.

(I'm pretty bright in other areas, just at the base of the learning curve with iOS apps.)

The iPad user guide has ten pages about iBooks...probably what you are looking for.

Except that I don't have an iPad.

Strange.. I felt that iBooks was so intuitive when I started using it.. At the level of "How can it be otherwise?"..
