Hi Sabahattin, Using the "select All" does seem to cause problems. I'm not sure if it's because of one specific book, or if it has something to do with some other restrictions. If I download 20 books, all goes fine. I haven't tried pushing further than that yet. You're welcome to try. It's entirely possible that one of the books has some sort of protection that is affecting the use of the "Select All" and drag action, but I don't feel like going through my entire bookshelf to figure that out. Here's what I do. For the sake of semantics, the older on my Desktop is named "Books".:
• In the Books app, download the book titles to your local drive. Do not use Select All here either. Make sure that the Book Shelf is in List mode, then sort by the 8th column, which is the Download column. • When sorted in this fashion, you can quickly select 20 to 30 titles at a time to download. Just select them with shift, then VO-shift-m and choose Download. • After all are downloaded. make sure both the Books app and the Finder folder are in List mode. • I've found it easier to now leave the Books folder open on the Desktop. • In the Books app, interact with the Book Shelf • Select about 10 to 20 titles using shift-down arrow. • Press VO-cmd-f5 to route the mouse to the VO cursor. • Press VO-cmd-shift-space to invoke mouse-down. • Press VO-f1-f1 to bring up the Application Chooser, and navigate to the Finder, then right and down to the Books window. • Navigate to the List View table but do not interact with it. • Press VO-cmd-f5 to route the mouse to the VO cursor. • Press VO-cmd-shift-space to invoke the mouse-up action. This should do it. If you choose too many, then you will end up with the Books app going busy and not actually dragging and dropping the titles. As you mentioned, it does eventually stop being busy, but the titles don't ever get copied over. I did copy 20 at a time and it worked fine. If there is an offending title in the midst, it will likely hang even when trying that specific group of 20. You'll at least have narrowed things down though. Let me know if you have any success. Later...

I really hope there’s something obvious I’m missing here. What part of the table row should I click and hold down on? Is the Finder for you in any particular mode? Anything else in particular I’m not getting? It is working fine, a book at a time, in the other views.
