Rationale
Apple Books is a platform for buying and reading ebooks and audiobooks. It does not offer a rich text editor for content creation, nor does it have a monetization model where writers earn revenue based on reading time. It also lacks community feedback tools like claps or highlights, and a distribution/recommendation engine for user-generated content. The core offering is a digital storefront and reader for published books, not a platform for independent writers to publish and monetize their own stories.
