If you are both a Mac user and an eBook fan, you might feel like experienced a roller coaster. The Apple’s WWDC 2013 announcement of iBooks coming to the Mac with OS X 10.9 Mavericks brought a breath of fresh air, but quickly destroyed by the application itself.
The capabilities of iBooks for Mac app is under Apple’s average level, 8 out of 10 threads discussing iBooks for Mac app are full of complaints. Therefore we are facing this problem: We need another app for reading on Mac to replace iBooks for Mac, that is to say, we need an iBooks for Mac alternative.
Your digital nightstand. The new Reading Now tab makes it easy to get to the right. Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about Apple Books. Download Apple Books and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Here is the list of best iBooks for Mac alternatives for you readers. (PS: Official reader apps from eBook retailers like Amazon, Sony, Nook, Kobo, etc. are not included)Calibre
When we talk about eBook software, Calibre always comes at first, and this time will be no exception.
Every coin has two sides, with so many recommendations and applauses, it is also the symbol of capable but ugly, not user-friendly softwares.
No matter you like it or not, the truth that Calibre is the ONLY software which could completely replace iBooks for Mac cannot be denied. Its magnificant features of eBooks management, eBook sync, eBook edit and eBook conversion are all great, even greater than iTunes.
But Mac users have a sense of beauty, if you are looking for an app to read an eBook gracefully, Calibre is out of your list.
Price: Free from Calibre Official SiteAdobe Digital Editions
This is a must-have app if you are reading EPUB and PDF books protected by Adobe DRM, to know that over 2/3 popular eBook retailers are using Adobe DRM protection, then you would understand the must-have better.
The UI design of Adobe Digital Editions is simple while keeps all the necessary features of an eBook reader app. What’s more it enables people to manage the library in basic ways and even syncs eBooks between the devices which support Adobe DRM protected EPUB and PDF files.
However, as long as you have Adobe DRM protected books, this app is the one you have to use.
Price: Free from AdobeClearView
This is a light app developed by canoe software, it is an easy-to-use eBook reader app which supports eBooks management base on library shelf, and reads eBook formats as DRM-free PDF, EPUB, CHM and Mobi.
As an eBook Reader, it enables people to make annotations, insert bookmarks and search works for definitions. And the support for both EPUB and Mobi attracts many users as many apps only suppot EPUB and PDF. Considering the Mobi stands for Kindle books, that is a big advantage.
And ther is one thing we need to pay attention, if we directly drag an eBook file into the app’s interface, nothing is gonna happen. It requires us to drag the entire folder into the app, and the flaw is it won’t filter those non-eBook files, which is not user-friendly enough.
All in all, it is an elegant, tiny but handy app for reading variours formats of eBooks on Mac. And just inform that in my test, this app crashed a lot under Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Price: $9.99 from AppStore, free trial is available on the official site.Kitabu
This is the last app I recommend in this post, and the reason why I put it in the last place is simple, it is inferior than the apps above.
The biggest advantage of this app is free, but Adobe Digital Editions is also free while ADE is more stable and supports Adobe DRMed EPUB and PDF books.
In the aspect of capability, it supports fewer formats than ClearView, and the UI design is also not delicate enough, makes people feel like it just adopts everything native in Mac’s developer library. At the first time I run this app, I can’t even get noticed it is ready to work.
On the whole, if you want a free, light (2MB) and stable (crashes rarely under Mavericks) app to read DRM-free EPUB, you can choose kitabu.
Price: Free from AppStore
Tip: If your original file is Mobi but want to use Adobe Digital Editions or Kitabu, you can convert online for free, and vice versa.

Dated back to the WWDC 2013, when Apple announced iBooks would be an independent application in the OS X 10.9 Mavericks, all the iBooks lovers are exciting about the coming iBooks for Mac app. Finally the day came, but I heard much noise among the cheers. A lot of people think the iBooks for Mac sucks, because it doesn’t allow people to edit the metadata.People can’t edit eBooks metadata in iBooks for Mac
Some people may even don’t know what is metadata, to put it simply, metadata is the ID card for an eBook, like the cover, title, author name, publisher name, etc.
For those people who purchase eBooks from iBooks Store only, they might feel there is no need to edit the metadata. But a hard-core eBook fan won’t think so, many downloaded eBooks don’t have a complete meta information, like lack of cover or improper title spelling.
When the iBooks was only a child-column in iTunes, we can right click on an item then click ’Get Info’ to edit a book’s metadata just like modifying a song’s ID3 tag information.
But with iBooks for Mac in Mavericks, you only get this when right clicking on a book.
Sad story, feels like we are using a lite edition of iBooks, isn’t it?
The reason that iBooks enables people to edit the meta date is pretty obvious-- they don’t want people to use iBooks to read downloaded books, but only the books purchased from iBooks Store.
Sit for mac os. As originally planned, a follow-up release known as ’Gershwin’ would add and other advanced features. New features were added more rapidly than they could be completed, and the completion date slipped into the future with no sign of a release. It was to have introduced, and a number of new underlying operating system features, yet still be compatible with existing Mac software.Edit metadata with Calibre for Mac
Although editing metadata with iBooks is impossible, it doesn’t mean this is the end of the story. With another software, Calibre for Mac, we can edit book’s metadata then load the book into iBooks for Mac app.
First we import the book into Calibre.
From the image above we can see that the cover of the book A DANCE WITH DRAGONS is missing, which is a pretty typical case where we need to edit the metadata to add cover.
Right click on the book title, choose ’Edit metadata’, then ’Edit metadata individually’.Ibooks For Mac Os X 10.6
In this window we can customize almost all the important metadata. In this case I need to add a cover to the book, so I click ’Browse’ in ’Change cover’ area. If you want to make it simple, just directly click ’Download cover’, and Calibre will search the cover from internet and add it for you.
After finding the cover image, click ’OK’ to confirm. Then you can see the cover in Calibre now.
But job has not been finished yet, in fact the cover is only added in Calibre’s library. To display the book’s cover in iBooks for Mac, we need to add the cover image into the book file.
No matter that we are adding cover or modifying the names, converting the book to EPUB again is necessary. Only in this way, we can completely edit the metadata inside the book, not only in Calibre library.Ibooks Author For Mac
So the last step is to convert the book to EPUB, even this file is already an EPUB file.Load the modified book into iBooks for Mac
Find the converted file in Calibre’s library and drag it into iBooks for Mac. Now we can see the book displayed in iBooks for Mac with the gorgeous cover.
Using the same method we can also add or modify other metadata like title, author & publisher, genre, etc. On Mac OS X Mavericks even the iBooks for Mac enable us to do so.Ibooks For Mac Os X 10.12
