Apple Books Not Working on iPad Pro

I’m running iOS 13.4.1 on a 2nd generation iPad Pro.

Apple Books is doing this:

Meanwhile, it is working fine on my iPhone XR.

Any advice on how to fix Apple Books to work on my iPad?

Thanks!

Apple Books not working properly on new iPad Pro 11” I having a several problems with Books on my new iPad Pro running iPadOS 13.1.3. Many books, even books I have downloaded from the book store only this morning, not restored from back up, have no covers, or even an indication of which book it is, and will not open. With some, I can’t even use the menu (3 dots) beside the book. It either won’t open at all, or is completely dead after it opens. I set the new iPad up with a back up from my iPad Air 2, and expect some glitches with non-Apple apps, but why is Books showing this behaviour, and what can I do about it, short of a complete wipe?

Apple Books Skipping Pages Hi Since the last update it seems Apple Books on the iPhone is skipping pages - it jumps ahead a number of pages when you turn the page. I downloaded two new books yesterday and both experienced the same problem (one being the latest Steve Jobs book) - it is also doing the same thing with older books in my library. I have tried restarting the device but the problem continues. I would be grateful for any guidance re how to fix the problem. Regards Bruce

See if deleting and reinstalling the app helps.

Thank you, picas. I had tried offloading without success but was, for some reason, reluctant to delete and reinstall. It totally worked and I still have the content that was previously loaded since it was stored in iCloud! Thanks again.
