This update is dramatically fluffy; like all previous updates.  It only re-arranges old features in new packaging.  Real features such as easy collection management, book list export, accessibility improvements, etc. are still missing from the apps as well as the backend delivery systems.  All noise and no real substance.  Its disingenuous to imply otherwise.  BUT, I have used that book to speech work around for a few years and it works well.

iBooks really is not much different.  

I have several thousand books in each so I feel qualified to complain about my particular use case.  

I do not want to accidentally purchase books that I already own in a different format or edition.  Since I cannot move books between the two, I need another method to simply and efficiently prevent an accidental purchase.  I also want to group my books simply and efficiently.  I want to be able to import the overall list into sites such as Goodreads all at once, rather than on a book-by-book basis.  

In some instances, I may be preparing a written work, professional or academic, and need my notes as well as citations for inclusion into the work product.  Since I have a huge number of technical books, with very similar titles in some cases, this becomes especially difficult.

To do any of this, I first need a consolidated list of all my books.  Something you'd think would be one of the simplest features both to implement and use.

Amazon has intentionally removed online features that would make getting a list easy.   For example, you are no longer able to print a report about your e-book purchases.  Goodreads no longer can bulk import your Amazon purchases.  

We are actually going backwards while being made to think we are going forwards.
