Not fully downloading

I purchased a book on I books and it just gives me 2 chapters of 23. Tried to redownload but it just gives me a read button option and still only 2 chapters (30 pages). Ideas to fix?

iPad, iPadOS 16

Hi JTZuck21,


If you are only seeing 2 chapters of a book, you might be reading the sample. To re-download a book you purchased, follow Re-download books and audiobooks:


  1. "Open Apple Books.
  2. Choose Sign In or your name in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
  3. Under My Purchases, choose Books or Audiobooks.
  4. Choose "Not on this [device]" to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
  5. Choose All Books or All Audiobooks to filter your results.
  6. Find the book or audiobook you want to download, then choose the Download button . "




Take care.
