How can I get my books in Books to sync from iCloud to my new iPad Pro?

I have a new iPad Pro that I restored from another iPad Pro using an iCloud back-up. Everything seems to have carried over except Books. I can see that I have records in Books in iCloud, and I have Books (app) on my new iPad set to Sync with iCloud, including over cellular data. But no books show up in the Books app.


iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Hi, could you check if under Settings - Books you have a green tick on Syncing with ICLOUD DRIVE?


Also make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices, including for your iTunes/ App Store.


This would be required to sync content like PDF or other files not originally from the Book store.


Have a look at this section on “Can’t see a book”: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201478#troubleshooting

Hope this helps.
