If you’ve been worried that Apple is going to forget about iBooks, you worried about nothing: today, Apple is announcing a new version of iBooks.

The first new feature of iBooks 3.0 has continuous scrolling, without pagination.

In addition, books now sync their reading position through iCloud across multiple devices. You can share passages and books across Twitter and Facebook.

iBooks is also getting more language support, namely for Asian languages like Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

The new version of iBooks is out today, and will be downloaded in the App Store.
