iBooks not syncing across devices

Hi,

I followed the steps to sync iBooks across my devices, my iPhone and iPad have both synced and show my books. However my Mac is not showing the books from either device and visa versa. I have checked I am using the same apple ID and also checked that iCloud books are showing.

Does anyone know the solution to this?

Thanks

Hi,

Same problem here, on iMac 21 PDF’s & on MBP no PDF’s.

And also non Apple eBooks are not on the MBP.

I have shared via mail, I have to mail one by one.

I have also send feedback to Apple: Feedback - iBooks - Apple

Going to iOS Settings for iBooks and enabling the "iCloud Drive" checkbox fixed it for me.
