Downloaded epubs don't show up in the books folder Hi, I've added 20+ epubs to my Books account, all of which I bought outside Apple's Book Store. The books sync between my Macbook and iPhone without an issue. I was trying to find the downloaded epub files (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks), but when I get there, the Books folder is empty. I checked my Books account, and to my surprise, it shows like I have no books in it (picture attached). Both my Mac and iPhone use the same iCloud account, so I don't know why this is happenning. Can anyone explain why does it happen? I'd like to fix this, so I can see the downloaded epub files on my Mac. Thanks, Ivan

Answering my own question, the location seems to be here:

/Users/**username**/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents

But I can only access it using the 'Go to folder' command.
