    What have you done recently with the app and/or your iPad e.g. synced to a computer which hasn't got your books on it, updated the iOS version ... ?

     

    If they are ibooks then as long as they are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or you can sync them back from your copy of your downloads on your computer

    The problem is, if I'm in an area that I don't have service or Wi-Fi and I want to read a book that I have purchased and paid for and I can't retrieve it...it is extremely annoying. I have paid A LOT of money for MANY MANY ebooks.  I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THE NEW 7.0 SYSTEM BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE IT. I HAVE IT ON MY IPHONE AND IT HAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY CALENDAR AND A FEW OTHER APPS.  I DID NOT WANT THE CHANGES ON THE IPAD TOO.  In other words, I have done nothing different.  My Kindle app is working great and has twice to five times more e-books in it.  The sad part is that iBooks charges more and does not get the new releases out as well and timely as Amazon.  I use Amazon more often now but I do like to keep my series together and for that reason I of still use them occasionally.
