Problems with apple books

when i share a book from apple books it sends only the name without the file e.g “psychic witch mat Auryn” instead of sending the actual file.

I understand you, hence my previous reply:


“ I see. The file is a link to the Book Store, which the recipient can purchase. If the books are not from Apple then just the title and author’s name is sent.”


When I send a purchased Apple Book there is a link to the Book Store. When sending a free book downloaded from elsewhere then it just shows the title and author’s name, as per your image.


She must be sending you pdfs, because books, free or purchased, cannot be sent from Apple Books on an iPhone and iPad, unless of course there is some way to do it on a Mac.


You can test this by sharing one of her books.

I think I’m being misunderstood so let me try to explain. I downloaded a book (not from apple) and saved it to Apple Books like how you open a file and tap the share icon and click on books. Now, I want to share and it’s only sending the name and not the file.

I don’t think the files save when I download them and I don’t know how to correct it. I hope I’ve been able to explain better
