Apple didn't ask my age and income when I signed up with iTunes Connect, how would this service get that data from a script in a book?

Even if iBooks doesn't use any official location services, it will still know the IP address you are contacting the system from - and that narrows you down to a specific city or region. As for the other info, well, it can easily be figured out to a decently-tight demographics range based on your purchasing and reading habits.
