If so, I'm beyond thrilled... I read on my iPhone at night in bed (where the backlight of the black page with white letters is much less disruptive than a light shining on my Kindle screen), but manipulating the books on my iPhone is SUCH a pain (especially when compared with the sweetness that is my Calibre enhanced Kindle)!
As far as I know there is no change in this area.

There is the recent announcement that due to changes in the way that Calibre handles its database there were changes to the setting in iTunes for syncing with iBooks and some consequences of these changes. However I have not seen any suggestion of support for syncing with other apps on iOS.

I must admit that it would be great if such functionality could be provided, but as I understand it there may well be restrictions in the automation interface provided by iTunes that prevent the development of such functionality.
