Apple iBooks app interface showing a skeuomorphic wooden bookshelf with various book covers, criticized for overdone visual design.

iBooks is simple overdone. The wood texture and the idea of a bookshelf with incorrect perspective angle is not making the interface feel real or tangible. Instead, the interface is often disturbed further by book covers that do not graphically go with each other. A more mute background such as Barnes & Noble’s app offering is a more successful example of coordinating the variety of book covers.
