Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: As of this reply, there is no option for this. But, there might be an update sometime to come. So, recommend it to Apple. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more likely they may consider it.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - Books for iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support
  2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Proceed form there as necessary


Screenshot Workaround:

As a workaround, create a screenshot of the page. Once you take a screenshot, proceed from there with the image taking.

Only Apple would know what updates are planned. We are just users trying to help each other work with what Apple is currently supplying us.


If you want Apple to add this (or some other) functionality, you can let them know through their formal feedback portal: Product Feedback - Apple

Don't expect an answer, but we have been assured that Apple staff read and tabulate all comments, and that they are taken into consideration in their planning. That's not so say that they will always agree with your idea or implement it.
