Oprah Winfrey:
I am who I am today because of the experience of learning to read at an early age. Reading opened up a whole world for me beyond the red dirt road and my grandmother's porch in Mississippi. I want to do that for everybody. And the opportunity to do this with Apple, to speak to people all over the world about the pleasures, the excitement, the tension, the drama that a good book can bring you … I don't know what's better than that.Apple CEO Tim Cook:
Few people in the world can bring us together like Oprah, whose compassion and grace celebrating the power of books are unmatched. It's our honor to provide a new platform for Oprah's Book Club and support the American Library Association in opening hearts and minds to the joy of reading.Oprah's Book Club was first announced at Apple's services-focused event in March.

Great. Another bad partnership and more proof that the Tim Cook era has been more bad decisions than good ones for Apple, not even discussing the lack of innovation.

So, there’s a show about reading and books... and people are upset. VERY Nice!

I fail to see what is bad about this partnership. Ophrah's Book Club has always been a success, and it shows the link Apple TV will have with other parts of Apple, e.g. Music and Books. But then I guess you would call everything Apple/Tim Cook does bad, regardless of what it is.

Oprah.
The only person who could convince fat people to get skinny doing what she says to do. While being fat.
If anything, she's one heck of a salesperson...

I find the Orpah brand rather corny. Her conglomerate promotes books and products, as if she curates all this stuff herself.
I happen to dislike Oprah. However there are millions upon millions of people like my Mom who adore her. For some people she will be the compelling reason to sign up. No doubt she has green lizard blood running through her veins, however don't under estimate the sheer numbers of reptilians out there.

She always picks great, thought-provoking titles for her book club, including many by unknown authors who become instant successes overnight. Glad that the book club is back and with Apple, not Amazon.

Say what you will about like/dislike of Oprah and Tim, but the fact that Apple secured her celebrity for their Apple TV+ service was nothing less than a coup. And now they are tying it to their Books business. There are many, many people (particularly women) who will purchase a book simply because it is on the Oprah‘s Book Club list. That Apple has managed to co-opt her celebrity into now selling TWO of their services is an absolutely brilliant move.
