While searching books in the Apple store, I just noticed that the page of the books has a new design, and that the top of each page says 'Apple Books. Preview'. For example, this is the page from one of J.K. Rowling books
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/harry-potter-cursed-child-parts-one-two-official-playscript/id1255836154
There are changes in the way they are handling taxes too. And for those of us in the US, no more 1099misc but 1099K forms. This is a link with that information https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/books/faq/Banking%20and%20Tax_Tax

That's a good-lookin' page. The only thing it's missing are sponsored ads.
Just kidding.

And more than 2/3 my books on my author page :(
Also, Apple 1099-K is not new. I have never received a 1099-Misc from them (since 2012) and a 1099-Misc threshold is only $10 in royalties. I received one 1099-K (requires at lease 200 transactions totaling at least 20,000).

I think it's a great improvement. One of the problems with the old iBooks listings was that the covers always looked 'muddy', and now they're all sharp and clear. Also, for those of us who don't have a lot of reviews/ratings, they are now shown even if there's only a couple.

Eh, I'm undecided. You have to scroll down to see the description (blurb) now. There's a lot of white space under the rating that could be better utilized by starting the blurb there, I think.

I agree. There's too much white space and it makes the page look amateurish.
