Well, here we are, almost to the end of June. The fate of all reading apps hangs in the balance. It's been oddly quiet. All the reading apps I have are still in the App Store (even iFlow Reader), their store links intact.

Was it all just a bad dream, or is anything actually going to happen?

I don't think Apple will (or legally can) do anything about existing apps, until they update. So we might be waiting awhile for resolution on what the 'newly restated' guidelines mean for reading apps (as opposed to subscriptions).
