IPad Books keeps on downloading random PDF’s Books on both my iPad Air and iPad Pro has periods where it will insist on downloading random PDF’s I have synced via iCloud. If I remove the download, it re-downloads again a few seconds later. Sometimes it will be one book, sometimes a dozen or more, all apparently randomly chosen from my collections. If I delete a PDF everywhere Books does stop downloading it, but as soon as I put the PDF back it downloads again. This will continue for hours, days or even weeks until I have my iPad cluttered with unwanted PDF’s, then it will suddenly stop for no reason and I can remove the downloads normally. Restarting the iPad makes no difference, updating the iOS version makes no difference (currently on 15.2). If I delete all my books from iCloud then add them back again it’s ok for a while then suddenly starts up again. This is driving me insane, as well as taking up space on my iPad. What can I do?

Remove downloaded books without deleting from icloud I use Books to store / organise a large number of pdfs. I use iCloud for Books to avoid using up space on my devices. On my iPhone or iPad I can remove a download of a pdf in Books without deleting it from iCloud, but I can't work out how to do this on my MacBook - the only option I get is to delete everywhere. Any idea how I can remove the download without deleting the pdf from iCloud? Thanks
