Bulk Download Books from iCloud

I have a ton (900+) books that I've added to my iBooks on my MacBook (Monterey). I want to download them to my iMac for storage (obviously, more space). But when I open iBooks on the iMac (Monterey), all I have is a list of books that are in iCloud (with the little cloud icon). How can I bulk download my books from iCloud to my iMac? Hitting that little cloud icon 900 f'n times is thoughtless UX design. There has to be a better way. Help? Thanks in advance.

Books on iOS12 via iCloud Hey there! is there a way to drag & drop pdfs on my Windows10 computer into the iCloudDrive directory in a way, that I add them to the iBooks Bibliography accessible via my iOS12 iPad? When I listed all files and directories in the iCloud Drive cirectory, I only found the following: ./ com~apple~Numbers/ iCloud~com~mkApps~LatexEditor/ ../ com~apple~Pages/ iCloud~is~workflow~my~workflows/ .Trash/ desktop.ini 'Tex Pro'/ com~apple~Keynote/ Downloads/ 'World Documents'/ Is there a way I can add a directory for the iBooks? I already turned on synchronisation via iCloud for Books on my tablet and they take up space in the iCloud, so I am certain, that it is the connection from the iCloud to my WindowsPC that is causing the issue here. Looking forward to read papers in a mater of seconds soon :)

How to Sync Non-iBooks Epubs and PDF from iPad Books to Mac books Hello, I have plenty of Epub and pdfs in my iPad Books.app. All legally acquired, not all from Apple. I have no problem syncing my apple purchases to my Mac - but I cannot sync the non Apple ones. Neither can I sync the PDFs. Both my iPad and mac are with the latest version (ioS11 and Big Sur) with all updates applied. Both have all options for iCloud on (I checked so every thing I could find is on) and I have plenty of space on iCloud. and of course both iPad and mac are connected to the same apple store id (which is different from my iCloud id) I am just at lost of where I should be looking. I have the sync for iCloud drive ON for the PDFs (on the iPad) but cannot find where on the drive these are ! or is it something I should do manually 1 by 1 ? Any idea of what option I am missing ? thanks
