Apple Books

Apple Books opens EPUB and PDF files as they are, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

On iPhone or iPad

  1. Download the book. Safari saves it to the Files app, under Downloads.
  2. Open the Files app, go to Downloads and tap the file.
  3. If it doesn't open in Books straight away, tap Share and choose Books.

On a Mac

  1. Download the book and open the Books app.
  2. Drag the file into the Books window, or choose File, then Import.

On all your Apple devices

Turn on iCloud for Books on each device, and a book you add on one shows up on the others. On iPhone and iPad it's the iCloud Drive switch under Books in Settings; on a Mac it's in the Books app's settings.

Reading somewhere else?

There are guides for Kindle and Kobo. Most other reading apps, like Google Play Books, open EPUB files too: open the file on your device and pick the app. Still stuck? Use the contact form and Louise will help.
