Q: find link for iBook storage location on MAC

Apple provides a link to find the storage location of iBook files on a MacBook. That link does not work on new Macbook versions with El Capitan. Is there a link that works?

    This location is where iBooks are stored on my El Capitan Mac. Is this the one you tried?

     

    Copy and paste into search field:

    ~/LIbrary/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks

    I just checked on my 2013 MacBook Air running El Capitan and cannot find the link either.

     

    Frankly, I think this is a good thing.  Any file is probably buried in Apple's internal area and not meant to be dealt with directly by users (us).  What are you trying to do exactly?  What would you use this information for?  There is undoubtedly some way to use iBooks and other resources to accomplish what you want without messing with Apple's internal data structures.
