    Hello Lilysapple12345,

     

     

    I understand that you're looking to download a book that you've previously purchased on another device. The steps outlined below detail how to go about doing this. You may need to verify that you're signed into the correct account in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

    1. Tap iBooks.
      If you're using iBooks 3.2 or earlier, tap Store.
    2. Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
    3. Tap the Download icon   next to the book that you want to download. The book downloads to your device.

    On a Mac or PC

    1. Open iBooks.
    2. Click iBooks Store.
    3. If prompted, sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    4. Under Quick Links on the right side of the iBooks Store, click Purchased.
    5. Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
    6. Scroll to find the book that you want to download.
    7. Click the Download icon   in the upper-right corner of the item you want to download. Your book downloads to your library.
      If a book is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
