iBooks

when i go into the purchased part of iBooks and try to open a file, it doesn't show all the books in the file. For example, i try to open All Books. It says there is 540 books in there but when i open it up there are only 20 showing. i would like to re-download books that i have previously deleted but it wont show all my books. i have made sure that i have all the updates for the phone and have done all the restarting of the phone and such. does anybody have any tips?

Hello a_a_richardson,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to download books you had previously purchased. If you don't see them listed you can change which you do see listed. I would recommend you read this article and use it to help troubleshoot the issue.

Open the iBooks app.
If you're using iBooks 3.2 or earlier, tap Store.

Tap Purchased at the bottom of the screen, then tap Books.

Tap "Not on This [device]."

Find the book that you want to download, then tap . The book downloads to your device.

Download your past purchases
