Wondering what happens when you try ?


You may want to check your iPadOS version is up-to-date:

(Eg: Updates often include bug-fixes)

You can check for updates in Settings > General > Software Updates.

(Reminder: It is wise to back-up your iPad if you choose to update iPadOS.)


Else: If iPadOS is already up-to date: It may help to restart your iPad


Apple support have an article online (link below) that may be helpful:

See how to: Read books in the Books app on iPad - Apple Support


However the article does say:

"Apple Books isn’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services."
