Books app not showing up in icloud

I’ve downloaded multiple PDF’s over time to my Books app. Had to wipe my iPad Air (5th gen running 17.2) and assumed they were all in the cloud since the settings seemed to indicate they were.

But after the wipe, only books/PDF’s I’ve downloaded since are in Books and I don’t see the books app in iCloud, or any way to make Books show up. I’m hoping I’ve just missed figuring out how to see the PDF’s and I’ve not lost them all.

Any help?

iPad Air, 17

Apple Books not syncing I have hundreds of ebooks and pdfs saved on the app and previously it was sorted under “recent” or “manually” where i can find my recently downloaded books. After i deleted and reinstalled the app on my iphone, it became all messed up and i can’t seem to sort it and find my recent books anymore. Also, the few recent collections that are created can’t be synced on my iphone when it appears on my ipad .

Books on iPad Are Gone and iPad will Not Sync with iCloud Drive across devices After an iOS update (I’m not sure which one) any documents in Apple Books I had previously on my iPad only are all gone. The Books library on my iPad is empty. It has been quite a while since I used Apple Books, but if Apple is going to implement an update that wipes out your entire library, perhaps they should warn users ahead of releasing the update. They might also tell you where to find your library if it isn’t missing and has instead been moved. Since my iPad Books Library is empty now, I have some pdf documents on my iMac in Books which I would like to sync across to my iPad. The note in the empty iPad Books Library window reads, “No Books to add books to this collection, go to your library and tap edit.” Unfortunately the “Edit” option is greyed out. Most of the solutions suggest making sure iCloud sync and iCloud Drive are turned on on each device. That is not the issue in this case. The iCloud settings are correct. What is the solution to syncing Books with iCloud Drive in this situation?
