Q: After the latest upgrades to the OS, I have lost several books in iBooks. How do I get them back?

Any ideas on how to get lost books back on my iPad? They show up on my iPhone 5, but not my iPad or iBooks on my Mac.

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7.0.4

Hey smseverino,

If the books are still available in the iTunes Store, you can use the same iTunes account they were originally purchased on to re-download them for free:

Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Any suggestions on how to restore books that were lost in the upgrade, but weren't purchased through the iBook store? I had several photography books purchased through independent sites, one of which disappeared as I was reading it with the sync going on in the background.
