Cannot get my books app to open

Hello Pi—off,

If an application won't open on your device, you can try the steps below. These steps can help with not only isolating this issue but to potentially resolve this issue that you've been having with Books.

Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

If the application is still not working you'd want to contact the developer, in this case Apple, to report it: Get Support

Cheers!
