Apple Books goes blank intermittently

I bought a book to be read in Apple Books on my Macbook air m2. It goes blank and needs to be "reloaded" intermittently. Sometimes it re-displays the page when the mouse moves, other times I have to hit a "reload" button. Sometimes it returns an error on reload and I need to stop and restart the Books app.


The kindle app has no such glitches.


What is causing this and is there a fix?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.5

I only have one. I tend to use the kindle app but the book I wanted was not available on Amazon so I found it in Apple Books. Not sure I would do this again if they have defective books.


Honestly it seems more like an app bug than a book format problem since the app recovers eventually or after restart with the same content.


Does anyone know how to re-acquire the book? When the error occurs the app tells me it is reloading as it is during the error-blanking.
