Where have the mount training books gone. They are no longer with the mount dealer in PE.

Let me try to at least closley paraphrase what @terramak said in the recent live stream: The mount training tombs have been removed. We can't say why yet but we believe it is better for players if we remove them now rather than later.
You can take that as you will.
There will always be those who do something before decisions are made. That's an unavoidable fact of existence.
Hence why I told people there was no point in being warned that major changes were going to come. No notice is equivalent to a years notice because there will always be somebody who did something just before notice was given. You did a wonderful job in proving those statements from months back in an offhand way.
Notice is nice because it gives you something to look forward to (or dread) but it does not change the impact such decisions will have on the value of items so long as those items are not being forcibly removed from your person. One such situation was when the devs truncated seals to a max of 500. However any time the value of something is going to increase or decrease without a direct removal of wealth there will always be somebody who did it the day before notice was given.
imho
Hopefully it's not just a sales change and the books will go to the bar store and something crazy like being able to trick out your pet with colors, maybe even jewelry or something.
Mounts, pets, gear are so vanilla. I think more customization could be a sales opportunity and fun for players.
I hope this means something good
Then use a system like the Cube of Augmentation system already present on artifact gear. Where you can unlock certain skills already present for mounts and more (ex. ap gain, increased speed, armor pen, etc)
This would lead to a problem of what will be left to put in the lockboxes. Transmutes, lvl unlock coins, and chance for max power unlock, i.e. don't want to buy 20+ cubes of augmentation to max out your skill use these nifty unlocks to get what you want at max auto-magically
O yeah lets unlock some level of use for dungeons. Who's tired of the long walk of shame just because you fail to make the fire jumps in elol?
PWE is supposed to have an awesome art team, lets put those people to work
1) We get a "stable", where we can keep unused mounts instead of having to keep them in inventory or the bank.
2) You can level up any mount white->green->blue->purple->orange, which will affect speed and dismount chances, just as it currently does.
3) If a mount is at "legendary" level, we can improve it even further to get an equip bonus (like the legendary axe beak and flail snail currently have). The obvious way would be to sell something expensive (10.000 Zen or something like that) to add an equip bonus to any mount, but actually I would like to suggest something different - killing two birds with one stone, by allowing masterwork crafting to make something like mount saddles with equip bonuses.
This would give Masterwork crafting a real purpose to exist (because at the moment it is quite frankly an embarrassing flop).
Most importantly, this would give people the option of having any special ability on any mount. You can pick your mount based on what looks best to you, or from a role-playing perspective.
For example, my DC rides around on a Heavy Mystic Nightmare - I like the way it looks, and it suits her. My dwarven GF rides around on an armored boar from the summer festival. Yes, it looks silly, but it suits him. My human CW will be getting a floating disk one of these days - a most appropriate mount for him.
Quite frankly I wouldn't mind paying for something like this - Cryptic, I am offering you my $$$ - please give me something I want.
Enough said.

2. Correction White and Green are both +50% mounts, so no upgrade needed.
3. Maybe.
4. I too have a Dwarven GF and he rides a Purple Mystic Nightmare which he plans to upgrade to Rank 4, He also has a Duergar sled, he calls it his 'Redneck Rocket Sled' after a song by Willie Robertson from 'Duck Dynasty'.
You're right Zen could hit 500 again.
