Books app not working properly

My Books app doesn’t work properly. I get only two tabs, Library and Search. I know I should be getting more (Store, Audiobooks, …) because it worked properly on my previous phone. How do I fix this?

What I’ve tried so far;

Restarting my phone
Allowing Books app in Screen Time.

iPhone XR, iOS 17

Apple Books showing only Library and Search I bought an Iphone 11 in August last year and ever since the Apple Books app has showed me only library and search options. Lately I get to see from time to time other options, such as book store, reading now, etc. I didn’t even know that’s how to the app is actually supposed to look like. What should I do to get all the app options to work all the time? Right now I’m having only library and search options available again.

Unable to purchase books in the new Books App I cannot find an option to purchase books using the new Books app on my iPad. My old books are listed but the bottom only shows 3 options, Reading Now, Library and Search. The Book Store and Audiobooks tabs are missing? I have reinstalled the app. UK user.

Books on my iPad Hi the books app on my iPad is not syncing with my phone (all other apps do) so when I purchase a book on my iPhone, i cannot see it on my iPad. How do I resolve this issue? Also, on my iPad, the books store does not come up so I cannot buy books through my iPad. Is this linked to the above question? and how do I resolve this? thanks Kirst
