The Books app got a minor refresh with the move to iPadOS 16. Admittedly, there’s nothing particularly dramatic, but the update is definitely worth having. Meanwhile, the audiobook player has also been revamped, with a new interface and a mini-player which makes it easier to listen to your book while doing other things on your iPad. The interface has had a brush-up too, with more customisation options and the ability to choose reading themes for different environments and moods.
