Export books from iBooks

Aloha,


I asked similar question long time ago, but nobody could provide a solution.


How to export MY books form iBooks, if you are using iCloud/ iCloud Drive for iBooks?


Setup is:

macOs 10.12.5

iCloud activated

iCloud Drive activated for iBooks


I know the local path of the content:


~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks


and with a simple:

cp -r ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks ~/Documents/ALLMYBOOKS


it would be possible to get a copy.


But does anyone else an "official way" with using iBooks or Finder?


Thanks

Marcel
