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

If the books are downloaded to your local storage (i.e., don't have the cloud icon), you can simply drag them out of iBooks to your Desktop or another folder.
