iOS 9.3.1 has corrupted iBooks

Are you force closing iBooks or just minimizing it and allowing it to sit in the multitasking display? If you are not closing the app completely, try that and then force restart.

Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps. Swipe to find iBooks. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

12,600 books? 😐

This is making me ill...I can't do this...nothing is working and I keep hoping for it to all right itself...:(

12,600? Really? Why?

I experienced the same problem and hope a fix is forthcoming. I'm reluctant to upgrade in the future since they don't appear to be thoroughly test-run before release.

If there should be a limit to the amount of books loaded in iBooks then this should have been tested with boundary testing and the limit set.

Seeing this obviously wasn't done, if the software allows you to do it, then its valid and should function correctly.

It just wasn't tested at all which is pretty disappointing.

I had to revert back to iOS 9.2.1 on my iPad Mini because iBooks got hosed when I upgraded to 9.3.1

Rebooted device, tried everything. Mucho sucko experience. Spinning wheel icon for hours.

Very frustrating because I only got the iPad Mini to read books.

How did you revert to 9.2.1?

I had a backup. I use SuperDuper for backups because Time Machine is not as reliable as I would like.

It's beginning to seem like a good idea to make an individual LOCAL backup before installing any updates.

Not an iCloud backup. Don't get me started on iCloud.

AAAAARGH!!!! Why did I install?!!! I thought this was a minor update and now my +2K books with > 150 divisions IS GONE!

Forgive me internet gods, for I have sinned. I freakin' installed another Apple upgrade trusting that their iBooks wouldn't be further messed up.

I Really, really hate me some Apple right now.
