Re: iBooks issue

I recently installed El Capitan and hadn’t used iBooks yet, but tried it just now. When I opened iBooks, I went to the book shelf table with my list of books and interacted with it. I didn’t see another window/table with the contents, so I double-click on my book, to open it. A window opened,

Yup. Same here. Works lovely in iOS but OS X iBooks is a useless waste of disk space. Someone said it could be internet issues but that's not the case here since speed test shows I'm actually getting slightly more throughput than advertised by the ISP. So I think they've just broken something.

Actually, I kind of like that you can turn on DND on the Mac without having it off on the phone. If I'm on a Skype call on my Mac, my phone is probably in another room, so I don't necessarily need DND on on the phone. It'd be nice if that were an option you could set though, I can envision
