Apple has launched a new Twitter account for its iBookstore to keep followers updated on new releases, special offers, and other details from the store, says “MacRumors” (http://www.macrumors.com). The account was created back in June, but Apple has just started using the account to send out Tweets today, the article adds.

The iBookstore — for iOS devices — features books from major and independent publishers. Once you’ve bought a book — or downloaded a free one — it’s displayed on your Bookshelf. Just tap it to start reading.
