5. Making bizarre leaps of logic when assessing Apple&#8217;s motives.

Browsers, such as Apple&#8217;s Safari, need to make better use of vertical space. Less focus on functionality and more on page content.

My great-great-great-great-grandfather once sat me on his knee and said, &#8220;You know what kid? People read books for the words.&#8221; He then wrote that insight down as a magic recipe.
Today, I&#8217;d like to share that recipe with you for improving Apple&#8217;s new iBooks.
