Books (Books in the Spanish version of iOS 12) has changed in much more than the name, utilities, capabilities and news of the Cupertino company's reading material management application are many. This is how Apple intends to re-attract an audience that has long since left companies like Amazon.
Let's give ourselves a little return for all the news that Books brings in iOS 12 and above all to talk a little about what they really mean for us. Books, even so, has a lot of work ahead of it if you want to captivate the digital reader again, especially on the iPad.
Obviating that we are in a beta phase, and that the application Books I have been "loading" for a long time for a reason that I do not know, the ideal is to tell you what their news really are and if they are really worth so much in the face of the "hype" that is being awarded in the media.
- Reading: It shows the books that we are reading (or listening to the audiobooks). In addition, a section is added where we can leave a kind of wish list of those books that we plan to read.
- Audiobooks: How could it be otherwise, it gets its own section in order to improve accessibility
- Store: You can browse and quickly access the available books, categorized by best sellers, special offers or even those that are free.
- Library: In our bookstore we will see our entire collection of books with its own cover. It will also categorize the ones that we have already finished.
