Just like
UIApplication.openURL

is there an API to launch iBooks with ISBN ..etc ?

thanks in advance.

+6  A: 

iBooks registers the itms-books: and itms-bookss: URL schemes, so you can launch iBooks programmatically, but the actual URL might not be an ISBN.

Thanks KennyTM. where can I find more documentation on this, specially the URL format ?
sujee
@linuxlover: If you have the iPad, try to open iBooks and copy a link in the iBookstore. If you see ISBN in the link, then it's good. Otherwise, we can only say the URL format is undocumented.

Hi Kenny can you please elaborate on the way to get the link to a book in the iBooks application ?

Either my eyes have failed me or there is no such thing.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those URLS. As iBooks does only exist in its mobile form it's pretty hard for me...

Thanks from Paris, France
