What I don't understand is how any script on my iPad could tell anyone my age and income, or even my location since iBooks doesn't use locations services (that I know of). 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?

Sounds like a Chicken Little scenario to me.
Not many people use completely different names and email addresses for each site they sign up with. Get one, you've usually got them all.
