Never knock a good update.

Late Wednesday, Apple released version 3.0.2 of its iBooks update for its iOS reader program.

The new version, a 41 megabyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:

- See all your iBookstore purchases in iCloud – on your bookshelf with iOS 6.

- Scroll vertically through your books using the new Scroll Theme.

- Receive free content updates to purchased book (new chapters, etc.)

- Look up definitions for words under the German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese languages under iOS 6.

- Share thoughts about your favorite books via Facebook, Twitter, Messages or Mail.

- Resolves a crash wherein the iBooks app may unexpectedly quit in iOS 6.

iBooks 3.0.2 requires a compatible iOS device and iOS 5.0 or later to install and run.
