Apple Books is getting a fancy new update this fall, and Audible may have cause for concern.
When the iOS 12 update hits iPhones and iPads, the trusty old iBooks app will disappear, to be replaced by a shiny new and totally redesigned Apple Books. The new Apple Books app will feature a prominent, dedicated audiobooks tab for the first time. It will make it easier to find and listen to audio books, and allow for seamless transitions between iPhone and CarPlay, so you’ll never have to sit in your driveway waiting to find out what happens next in your story.
The Library tab will serve as a virtual bookshelf to show off your collection, including the books downloaded to your device and the all-important “Finished” section, so you can make recommendations of the books you loved, even though you can’t quite remember the name.
Now if only they could integrate the Apple Books Library with the digital copies of books you can borrow for free from most public libraries. That would make the lives of digital bookworms a lot easier.
Recognize your brand’s excellence by applying to this year’s Brands That Matter Awards before the early-rate deadline, May 3.
