That way the app you need is always where you need it, when you need it.

That way if your reading is interrupted, you can pick your book back up on another device, in exactly the same place you left off. Besides the best seller you can’t put down to now, the iBooks application maintains a list of books you’ve read in the past. Just like with your apps, you can download them again at any time to any of your devices.
