Books app for MacBook crashing on launch

I’ve just updated to macOS Monterey 12.3.1 and the Books app still crushes within a second after launching the app. I’ve been facing this problem for a couple of weeks now and I thought that a software update would fix it. I don’t have access to the PDFs I’ve stored in the app. I read that I’m not the only one facing this problem so any help would be great! Thank you in advance!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Apple Books Constant Crashing The crashing is so chronic that it has become unusable. And I use the app for my work! It’s maddening that with each “update” we are also downloading a new bitter feature: Apple Bugs.

kindle app crashes every time opened on os x11.1 (Catalina) Does anyone know of a fix? I downloaded the kindle app again and installed it. No help. Interestingly every time I open a book in the app and I reopen after the inevitable crash there is a new blank book with nothing in it and nothing on the cover. I am at the point where I am not going to even try to use the app any more on my mac.
