Why is the Books app so neglected and so feature poor?

Hi

Can anyone explain why the Books app is so barebones?

  • It's impossible to tag several books at a time;
  • If you do a search then you can't select the results and either move the books or delete or tag them as a bulk.
  • The display options are poor and hard to view (icons too big or too small depending on your screen, list view hard to read).
  • No conversion options
  • No options to get metadata and covers


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6
