Unable to find my Books EPUB files on iPhone. I have a number of books on my iPhone (iphone 11, iOS 17). I cannot find the files. I see lots of folks seem to have this problem. My issue is I do not have a Mac computer. All I have is my iPhone and my iCloud account. The files are in neither of these locations. I do know the file is somewhere because Books regulalrly deletes the books (even though I have plenty of cloud storage), and I have to redownload them. Most of the books have not been bought through the Apple bookstore, so I cannot check there. Any suggestions Apple community? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Books keep deleting locally if icloud sync is on Hello, my problem is that if I have iCloud sync for books turned on my books after some time gets offloaded locally and stored only in iCloud, therefore when I'm traveling or going somewhere without internet access I can't read my books (terrible design choice btw). I have plenty of space in my iCloud and books are pretty much low-weight, I want to be able to access them anytime if I downloaded them once, why do they keep being offloaded? I read other threads about this issue but all of them has no solutions except turning off iCloud for books - what is this answer? I want my books to be accessible across multiple devices but I want to control whichever content is being deleted locally (like in other cloud solutions) Is there something I missing? If not, how to send complaint to apple for them to fix this hideous "smart" offloading.
