May 19, 2016 8:23 PM in response to romadby andrea345,I was able to add new ePub, but they didn't fix my missing 170+ collection grouping I had to rebuild from scratch after one of their earlier upgrades. And now the backlight color is changing - by itself - from night view to day (black to beige). It is also still taking a hellishly long time to load a book. It is still losing its place as to where it was last. Apparently many of my highlights are gone, so I'm having to rebuild those.
No idea about the apple sourced PDFs b/c I still have mine and they seem to be loading fine.

May 19, 2016 8:34 PM in response to andrea345by romad,So you were able to add a NON-APPLE sourced ePub to your iBooks Library in iTunes and then when you synced your iDevice, the ePub was actually transferred to the iDevice? I also have noticed that when I want to read a book, it takes about 10 seconds before the book opens. Have you tried loading a NON-Apple-sourced PDF? I get the impression that Apple wants to no longer allow the loading of books from anywhere else into iBooks.

May 19, 2016 9:00 PM in response to romadby andrea345,I'm not syncing to my iTunes library because it lost its mind and its location, so I have to rebuild that as well. No, I'm loading from email and so I just checked the PDF and that works too. But I've only tested thru email, not iTunes - which turned to !#$% somewhere along the line. I dunno... I can't back up there now after 9.3 because it'll wipe all my new additions, my music (it can't find) ... all of it out, so I have to rebuild that from scratch.
And yeah, the Apple ePub is its own format, but Calibre will convert. The apple ePub is fat Fat FAT, so ***** down space. I'd strip it just to get rid of the bytes I don't give a hoot about.
