"The iPhone 4 wasn't Apple's only announcement at WWDC today; Steve Jobs also unveiled some upgrades to iBooks for the iPad, including PDF viewing capabilities and support for both annotations and page bookmarks.\niBooks will have two bookshelves \u2014 one for regular iBooks content and one for PDFs. The PDFs will be presented just like the books, and whenever you come across a PDF file in an e-mail or on the web, you'll be able to jump right into iBooks to view it.\nYou'll also be given better tools for keeping track of important passages in any iBook or PDF file. The new app lets you bookmark any page with just one tap, or highlight text and leave annotations for future reference.\nAs announced a couple of weeks ago, Apple will let independent authors self-publish to the iBookstore, bypassing the big book publishers. That news wasn't in focus at WWDC, but it bears mentioning regardless, as it could have significant implications for the publishing industry if iBooks evolves into a massive success.\nApple also has plans to launch iBooks on the iPhone and iPod touch, with PDF support included. All versions will wirelessly sync your notes, places and bookmarks between all your devices. And thanks to its resolution bump, the iPhone 4's new Retina Display will be the next best thing to an iPad for reading books and PDFs in iBooks.\n[img credit: gdgt]\n\n\nFor more Apple coverage, follow Mashable Apple on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
