How do I launch iBooks e-reader programmatically on iPad?

Question

Just like UIApplication.openURL.

Is there an API to launch iBooks with an ISBN?

Answer 1

For your info, folks: all it takes is to add the itunes.apple.com URL, the same you can find in iTunes when browsing the BookStore on the Mac, but replace http with itms-books and b00m, you have it! Example

itms-books://itunes.apple.com/de/book/marchen/id436945766

or

itms-books://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMultiRoom?fcId=510054265&s=143443
