Booksstand Lets You Access Your iBooks Content From Newsstand

Booksstand, a tweak to let you access your iBooks content from Newsstand, is now available in Cydia.

With Booksstand you can add shortcuts for your favorite books and PDFs in the Newsstand folder and access them directly in the iBooks app. You no longer have to crawl through countless book collections to find what you need, since all your favorite content (both books & periodicals/newspapers) will be in one place. For many, the overlooked Newsstand feature of iOS 5 finally gets a new meaning :)

How To:
To export a book to the Newsstand, select it and 'move' it to the Booksstand collection from inside iBooks. (This action actually does not move any items in a different collection, it only makes them available in Newsstand.)
Then you can treat your books like any other Newsstand applications

Note*: To use this tweak you should have the latest iBooks application downloaded from the App Store. It won't work for any unofficial "fixed" iBooks packages. The minimum iBooks version this tweak requires is 2.0.

You can purchase Booksstand from the Cydia Store for $0.99.
