Notebooks for iPhone Answers

Hi,

this in fact is very easy: tap the "+" button at the top of the list of books and notes, and from the menu that appears select "New Book".

If you tap that button too long, Notebooks immediately creates a new note; this is a convenient shortcut to avoid the menu.

Tip: in Notebooks' settings you find a switch to switch that behavior such that a brief tap creates a note, touch & hold brings up the menu.

(Seems like a lot to say about a simple thing as creating a new book ;-)
