Don’t think you need to store content offline in dropbox for this to work (and thus pay for that feature), but I do it anyway as I want access to all my library everywhere without internet. I keep a large offline library on my device in dropbox and store what I am reading at the moment locally in the reader apps also (they do this automatically).Have to export/import a copy between the apps to keep and sync notes, highlights, etc once I finished reading or if I want to continue on another device (acrobat can do this automatically I think if you give them access to your dropbox, but a) that’s just another potential source of frustrating bugs and I need a robust solution and b) i don’t want to give them access).
Solution (what I settled on for the long run): Dropbox to sync + Acrobat for pdfs / Marvin3 for epub, etc. Solution: if you turn off syncing in Books it keeps the local copy for me but it won’t sync of course :). Even worse, I just experienced the same issue with the Kindle app so it might be a more general problem related to how the os manages/optimizes local content storage (I have 5gb+ storage left so it’s a bug, not a feature if this is the issue) Tried everything suggested above and some more, nothing helps. I have the exact same issue with my ipad, os version 12.4.4 very frustrating. Note the size may vary, after some time some books will be reloaded to iCloud if no activity on them. If the size here is smaller or equal than the size found in 4) for sure you have booked stored locally. You may have more than a single item Apple Books. You should have a menu item Downloaded where all downloaded books should take place.ħ) Verify the iCloud storage occupied by your books: in Settings -> -> iCloud -> Manage Storage -> Apple Books -> Documents & Data. Click/tap on Collections word and choose from the pop-down listing. Click on them and choose what to do with the book: add to Collections.Ħ) Also in Books: Click on Library icon on the lowest row of the display. Now, please observe three dots to the right and under the book icon. Note the size should be >0 if equal zero could be something else wrong.ģ) Turn off the wifi from Settings -> WifiĤ) Verify again the size as in 2) Should be the same.ĥ) Open the Books and manage your download. 
This good description is now almost vanished in the recent version (not as explicit as this one).Īs for storing locally, on the iPad, you may watch/compute/verify as follows:ġ) Verify a book download: Go to Settings -> General -> iPad Storage -> Books and click to the right and see two items, there, Documents & Data and dully note the size of these.Ģ) Add a new book: (download a new one) and check/verify/note the new size as in previous point. An excerpt in the picture below (yellow highlighting is mine): To answer your question: seems to be intended as is expressed in iPad/iPhone Users Guide, iOS version 11.4.
