iOS 9.3.3 broke iBooks store on iPad

• Try a forced restart: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the restart.
• Sign out, then sign back in to iTunes & Apps stores

I have exactly the same issue however it started 7/19/16 before I updated to 9.3.3; Ibooks works on my iPhone, Mac and Macbook. Apple Support - I have Apple Care - worked on it for 1 hour and then disconnected me.

Ipad Air2, iOS 9.3.3

This did work for me.

Sigh, me not understanding the interface. Kilgore's hard reset using home and off buttons worked for me.

Same problem on air 2, mini 1, mini 4. Works on 2 iPhone 6. Hard reset did nothing. Can view books downloaded but it doest even try to load from cloud. Fine before 9.3.3.

Same here. None of the icons in ibooks function except "My Books"

Thanks, Kilgore! It worked when done exactly as you said.

Many thanks!

I'm having the same problem. Only My Books works. I tried the hard reset and signing out of iTunes and it still won't work on my iPad mini 1 or 4.

This didn't work my iPad Air 2...had other issues with iBooks since iOS 9 and on MacOS too...really think they should start again with a completely re-written app.

I have this same issue and it started before the update. I have done a hard reset and signed out of iTunes and back in, but still no joy 😟

Having the same issue on a 12.9" iPad Pro and an iPad Air 2. Both are running iOS 9.3.3. (Don't recall this happening before I did the update...)

Attempted the hard-reboot and signing in & out of the App Store. No success.

As with the others, the "My Books" tab is fine, the other 5 (Featured, NY Times, Top Charts, Top Authors and Purchased) all display as blank screens.

I have the same problem on my iPad Pro 12.9" since upgrading to iOS 9.3.3. The problem persisted after doing a restore. I tried Kilgore-Trout's recommendation, and no fix before restore or after. iBooks is working fine on my iPhone 6s after upgrading to 9.3.3.

Ditto, all! Tried the hard reset, closed all apps, tried again. Nope. Hard on a bookworm! I'll wait for a fix, I guess. 😢 I've only had my new iPad for a week. I was afraid it's the iPad, so that's my silver lining.
