OK, well the situation has improved slightly, in that I now have single items
being copied from the list view in Books into a list in Finder using
drag-and-drop. But still no joy with multi-select.
The difference: use the Catalina version of Books, instead of the Mojave one.
Apparently there ar
Hi Sabahattin,
Hmmph. I hate it when things work for one, but not someone else. FYI, I
usually drag from the title field. I interact with the bookshelf table, then
navigate to the title with VO, then either start the drag or select multiple,
then start the drag. Really not sure why it's bei
Hi Tim,
I usually tried using the leftmost column, which is usually empty. However I
have also tried (and just tried again) with the title, author and category
columns. Those appear sometimes to work like edit boxes, in that they are
announced as such once the mouse is clicked and held with VO-
Hi Sabahattin,
When you're grabbing the book from within the Books app, do you mouse-down on
the title, or some other portion of the columnar information?

Hi Tim,
Thanks so much for trying, but I’m afraid it’s just no go for me. I’ve tried
everything now, I’m sure. I even checked the size and positioning of the
windows and ensured Books and Finder each had a half to themselves. But
whatever I do, I just can’t make Books transfer books—even one
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
Hi Tim,
Well, I tried and tried, but tragically I just can’t make it work in list view.
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
Hi Sabahattin,
One more thing I forgot to mention. Silly me, too much of a rush I guess.
List view within the Books app works fine for me. I've found that if you
download the book, or books, first, it works much better. So, in your case,
while in Books, do a cmd-a, Select All, while in the
Thanks for that, Tim. I gave it another shot, this time using the mouse up/down
keys, and I managed to make it work. The missing link, for me, is that the book
had to be dragged in the grid view; it didn’t work on list view. It did not
appear to matter what mode Finder was in—it worked fine in b
Hi Sabahattin,
To accomplish this with VoiceOver, do the following:
• create a folder on your Desktop. Perhaps name it Books.
• open the Books app.
• find the non-protected file you wish to drag.
• press VO-cmd-f5 to bring the mouse to the VO focused item.
• Press VO-cmd-shift-space to invoke mo
Interesting. For some reason, I didn’t think to try that. I just tried it and
it works.

The correct way is to drag the books from the Books app to a Finder window.
Only, in keeping with Apple’s commitment to accessibility, there’s no keyboard
shortcut to do that and I’ve never made it work with VoiceOver commands. Good
to know that others are feeling my pain, though—there’s no ot
Yep! Worked perfectly, and I agree. If Barry hadn't posted, I would never have
figured out where the file was stored.

Donna,
Did this indeed work? It seems that there should definitely be an easier way
than mucking around in the internals of the sandbox for the books app.

If you have iBooks enabled in iCloud Drive options, you will probably find them
if you press command-shift-g in finder and paste the following path.
~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents/
You can also look here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents
Hi David,
This isn't an Apple Book. It's a family cookbook that was converted to Epub.

If the book isn’t copy protected and you have something like voice dream reader
I thought you might be able to move the file from the books app into voice
dream reader and share it that way? I’ve moved books from the books app to
voice dream reader before.

My partner says you can only share the file using iTunes on Mac or PC.Books
on Apple iOS only allows you to read the book.family share is the only way
she knows how to share actual books from apple's books

It didn't. My husband says he sees the title of the book, but nothing happens
when he taps it.

Hi,
If this is on iOS or iPadOS, try tapping the Library tab, locate the title you
wish to share, swipe up/down to hear Show Actions Pop-Over, then double-tap.
You should have Copy, Share book, and a bunch of other choices. Double-tap
Share Book and see if that does the trick.
Later...
Tim
So I tried tapping share, and sent it to his email. But he says that all he got
was the text, that is, the title of the file, not the actual book.
