It’s a zip file

Zip files are not supported by the Books app. Why do you want to store a Zip file in the Books app exactly?

Save it in the Files App and extract the contents there.

In general Books will only accept PDFs so would not appear as an option for anything else.
That was my first thought, too. However, it did appear for me with PDFs, text files, and jpegs. Not, though, audio files or anything Microsoft.

Interesting. Would not expect the Books App to support jpegs, don't really see a use for that. I can understand Text files though.


Tried a few other types, works with XML files, but did not work with PNG images or Numbers files.
